Today we left Yellowstone and our beloved Bison behind, driving many winding roads to Helena, Montana, and finally to our motel in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. We had scheduled for this morning an interview with Montana Governor, Brian Schweitzer, but he unfortunately had to cancel. We were all dissapointed that the colorful governor was going to be elsewhere than Montana today, but decided to stop in the state's capital, Helena, to check out the state house. There we admired the lovely stained glass and oil paintings. Here's the bronze statue of Thomas Meagher, leader of the Irish Brigade in the Civil war, outside the state house and a large painting of the golden spike in Utah.
From Helena we drove on to Idaho and to our motel. After we all showered, we ate some very salty chinese food at the near by Dragon House. Then we came home, made some smores using the microwave, and are now going to sleep in our warm beds! Inside! Also no worries about bears eating our food! Tomorrow we go to Seattle where we will be staying with Becca's sister and interviewing more cool people. Also, we will be sleeping inside again!
