After I had a great time in Cincinnati, it was time for me
and Ted to hit the road to our final destination – West Yellowstone – the town where
we were supposed to spend our summer.
It was like 3 am in the morning on 23rd of May and Wesley gave us a ride to the airport. It was raining and we were all wet before we even get to the car. It was hard to say “goodbye”, but we knew we’d see each other again and we also knew that something absolutely amazing was about to happen, so we were ready for our next adventure. And if I may just say that Bozeman’s airport was absolutely adorable!

And if I may just say that Bozeman’s airport was absolutely adorable!
We flew from Cincinnati to Bozeman through Denver. The plan
was to spend the night in Bozeman, because nobody would pick us up till the
next day. When we got to the airport, Ted left me to go and change his pants (I
know it sounds funny, but the girl that was sitting next to him spilled her
Coke all over his jeans and it was hilarious to be honest). So in the meanwhile
I had to find a way to call the shuttle to come and pick us up to the hotel. And
an unexpected “Hi!” came up from nowhere. I was kinda surprised. There was a
boy standing next to me. He asked me, if I’m going to work in Yellowstone. That
was so weird, I mean how did he know haha. His name was Chris and he was going
where we were going so.. he called the shuttle and we started talking. He
really helped us and we ended up sharing the same room. I mean – sharing a room
with someone that we just met! That doesn’t even sound like me! But it actually
was the beginning of an amazing friendship! We talked so much this day. He was
from Minnesota and had an absolutely awesome and friendly personality. So glad we
had the chance to meet him, to be honest! Another great experience and great
memory to talk about. All three of us, we had a fun night at the bar after
getting a really good nap at our big comfortable beds at the Holiday Inn in Bozeman.
Chris left early in the morning and we had to wait till 11 for our ride.
So the van arrived and Christine (who was our HR manager)
helped us do all the stuff we had to (I mean like calling CIEE and applying for
our Social Security Cards). We met another two Bulgarians – Vasil and Alexander
– two more awesome friends that we met during our summer there. We went
shopping to Target (because Alexander’s luggage was lost during his flight and
ended up in Chili). It was the end of May, and the decoration for 4th
of July was all over the place – that was just another really great thing about
America – the holiday spirit is always there… I got to enjoy decoration for 4th
of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas during the only 4 months I got
to spend there. BRILLIANT!
So we were warmly welcomed to Montana. It was time for us to
get going and finally see where we were about to spend our summer. It was an
absolutely beautiful drive – around an hour and a half, but I got to do the
drive a few more times since Bozeman was the closest big city (and also the
closest city where we could get tattoos! But we’ll talk about this another time).
We were almost there! And I’ve never felt more excited.
