| From Colorado to Yellowstone |
I dedicate this slideshow to the memory of my dear mother, Yolande Bastien, who died on 1 June of this year.
After New Mexico, we headed to the south of Colorado, to spend a week near the Great Sand Dunes National Park. Somewhat overlooked, this place is worth visiting: the impressive sand dunes gave us a sample of what it is like to be in a full desert sandstorm.
On May 16, the day after we moved to Estes Park, near Rocky Mountain National Park (Colorado), I flew to Montreal because my mother had entered a coma. However, she came out of it, much to the surprise of doctors and was able to reconnect with the most important people in her life. My sisters and I were very present until the end. After the funeral, I went back to Colorado to be with Ted who meanwhile had had surgery for a cataract (in Atlanta). We met again June 9.
On June 12 we took the road to Yellowstone National Park in northwestern Wyoming but we stayed in WestYellowstone in Montana just a few kilometers away. Ted was adamant about comming to this area in our journey and now I understand why. I will let you discover it through this slideshow.
As I write these lines, we are in Revelstoke, British Columbia. We also stayed at St. Mary, near Glacier National Park in northern Montana before arriving here. We leave next Saturday August 7 for a stay of 4 weeks on Vancouver Island.
