USA RoadTrip Journal #2

Sunday July 26th 2009

Sleep refused my company last night. Today was much a blur. The morning was lovely. My father woke us with coffee and OJ delivered to our van in the parking lot of the Many Glaciers Hotel. We woke slowly and then joined them on the deck overlooking a azure blue lake with pinacles and rocky spires dressed in glacier white. We chatted with the parental units and their friends over coffee and microwave breakfast sandwiches. It couldn't have been better. The rest of the day was for napping in the car as Ahnna drove us south through Montana. Before sleep overtook me I remember Driving through the foothills south of glacier. The sparcley pined hills were frosted greenish brown with grasses and bespeckled with rocks as tall as five or six feet that seemed to have been sprinkled over the hills as candy would be sprinkled on a cupcake. We pulled over early to sleep at 5pm. We drove up a dirt road looking for a lake that was on the map, but which we never found. The misquitoes were worse than I have seen in many years and we learned to rearrange our van for sleeping accomodations while in it without opening the doors. We watched a movie entitled Lesbian Vampire hunters. Thats, Lesbian Vampire Hunters, not, Lesbian Vampire Hunters. It was everything it could have been and recognized its own idiocy and we laughed heartily. We slept well.
