The Memories

Its been 49 days or 6 weeks and 2 days traveling in US. We covered over 8000 miles or 11,000km. We saw bisons, deers, elks, marmots and a sole big-horn sheep, all which we have not seen before. Wished we saw a bear, though. We drove through and stayed in little-known small towns like Sparta in Wisconsin and big city like Indianapolis. We tried fast food that you don't get in Manhattan like Chick-fil-a, DQ and Sonic. We met many friendly people and hope we will keep in touch with some of them. We had beautiful weather, freezing weather, dusty weather, thunderstorm, snow and rain. All part of the experience in America's diverse national parks. We went to places with crowds that reminded me of NYC and then escaped to remote areas where we skinny dipped! We were turned back by the snow time after time consistently at over 8500ft. We lost the side bumper of the car. We got creative with our cooking with TJ's bacon-wrapped egg breakfast sandwich. We rigged up our outdoor shower and tried out the porta-loo.

We are now back in the city, the familiar sound of traffic, honkings, buildings and crowds.
