Day 63

I bid farewell to Jonas and packed up my bag and found a hotel room at the three bear lodge. I walked around West Yellowstone a bit and got the idea about all the tourist curio shops and then went back to the room to do some thinking and writing on philosophical and existential issues with a focus on compassion and reflective infinities. I showered and cleaned up and awaited the arrival of my Mom who has been driving since last night from Arlington to come and spend some very quality time with me on the road. While waiitng I watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. When she arrived we had some watermelon and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from her cooler. Tomorrow we would start touring Yellowstone on our own.
