Started the day with Mass at St William in Gardiner, Montana, then drove through the Roosevelt Gate at the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We were greeted almost immediately with two herd of elk near the Mammoth Hot Springs Lodge. At one point the two males were bugling at each other and we realized that we were in between them – not a good place to be.  We did escape without incident to enjoy a day of learning more about the history of the national park system, marveling at the geothermal features of the park, and admiring the wildlife – from a distance!  At the end of the day we found lodging, good food, and new friends in West Yellowstone, Montana.  Tomorrow we will go back into the park and see more of this wonderful place.

    Hi guys!  This is the first chance I’ve had to check out your blog, and it is amazing!  I can’t believe all these wonderful photos are taken by you — they’re like something out of National Geopgraphic!  So much fun to share your adventures this way — you are both very missed in the Sunshine State!  Paula and I haven’t gone swing dancing yet but are making plans to go soon — much love & hugs to you both!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
