Two weeks ago today I left San Antonio to begin my adventure
in Grand Teton National Park. It doesn’t seem like a long time, but I honestly
can’t remember the last time I was away from my friends and family in SA for
two weeks. There are some things I miss, but being in this amazing place with
these great people is so worth it. Since most of the employees here have
similar interests, and this company does a lot to bring all the employees
together, it’s been really easy to make friends here in the park. It’s cool
getting to know people from other areas as well; I’ve met employees from all
over the US, as well as England, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia… I could go on. No
offense to the summers that I worked zoo camp- I loved those times- but I have
to say that this is quickly becoming the best summer of my life.
Last night,
after hanging out on our back porch some more, Cristina, Nate and I went back
to the Whistle Pig. Elliot, who’s another one of our neighbors, joined us when
he got off work. He works in the Mural Room, the fine dining room in the lodge,
and we’ve gotten to know him from just seeing him around. We all hung out there
together until it closed at midnight.
Thankfully I
don’t have to go into work until three again today, so I let myself sleep late. I’m still pretty sore from that nine-mile hike yesterday, so it’s nice
to have the morning off.
