Day 53 of Work & Travel - Tiring Road Trip

We made our way to Roosevelt today. First stop was Tower Falls, it's supposed to be a very beatiful water fall, but when we reach there we saw that the trail to the bottom of the falls was closed for repairs. So we could only get a look of it from a far, which did not really do justice to the falls at all.

But even before the 1st stop, gues wat happened!? I saw BEARS!! 2 bears this time, a mother and a cub, the cub was really small and cute, it was running around and climbing trees. We managed to get much closer to the bears this time to take pictures cos the ranger was not there yet, so we managed to steal a few close shots of it. :) those bears totally made the day of everyone, therefore even though we did not have a good view of Tower Falls, no one was bothered.

Roosevelt Lodge was our destination for lunch, initially we wanted to eat at their EDR, but we realised that their EDR is so small that we had to give them notice of our arrival at leas a day ahead for them to prepare enough food. So we chose to eat at the Dinning Room, which is the hotel restaurant, instead. The food was quite good, much better than in the EDR, and it's not expensive too.

Next destination was Lamar Valley, this is supposed to be the place where we should be able to see lots of wild animals. However, we only managed to see several herds of Bisons. No bears, or anything here. But no one was unhappy, so we saw bears earlier already. :P

This is so far the most tiring trip for me. Cos i was driving all the way, and most of my frens were sleeping o nthe car. I couldnt sleep, but i was really sleepy, esp on the way back. But i managed to get back safely.

But that's not the end of the day, I came back to Old Faithful and got changed immediately to go to the rec hall. I had volleyball league games today, and i'm finally present for the first time. We were supposed to play 2 games today, but our first opponents were not fully present and hence they were walked over. In the next game, I finally played my first competitive game with a full team. It was really fun and i enjoyed it alot. Oh did i mention we won??

That was not the end of the day still, after volleyball i went to the pub. Our gift shop was having a pizza party tonight. All you can eat pizza, courtesy of the boss. That was pretty good, chatted a little with all the rest of the co-workers who turned up. :)

I'm just super super tired now!!!!!!!!!!!!
