We're Here!

It's early morning in Bozeman.  The view out our over-a-garage apartment is mostly trees.  But I can see a not far off mountain.  For a moment, there was the distant sound of a train.  Nearby, the crows are having a debate. The sun is peeking through the clouds.  Absolutely lovely.

But I get ahead of myself.

The trip up was terrific...two one hour flights sandwiched by a 37 minute mad rush to a distant gate. With a one hour later time change, leaving PHX at 10:40am & arriving Bozeman before 3pm is a luxury we don't have going overseas.

The Salt Lake City airport is wonderful...new, modern.  Think of it as Denver, only smaller, more airy & crisper.  The Bozeman airport is pure Montana.  Also new, with liberal use of wood & stone, wildlife bronzes everywhere. A big damn grizzly glowers over the baggage claim area.

The apartment is fabulous, truly a Garaj Mahal.  It's spacious, modern with a landlady who's a real dear.  Pics later.

We're a block and a half from Main Street.  So last night after unpacking a bit we strolled there, tired, not very hungry, window shopping for a light dinner.  We settled on a place called Fin, the fish body part, not French for "end".  Susanne chose clams & mussels in a wonderful broth...I had cheviche, also great.  No photos, too tired to lug the camera.

We then stopped by a locally owned grocery store to get some things, headed home & hit the sack before 9pm.

Today we'll take it easy, unpack, hang out, maybe drive around the area.

Exciting...not.  Will catch up on photos in another post.
