Day 16

Was in Bozeman, Montana, for about 2 weeks. It wasn't a particularly enjoyable trip since it was a work trip staffing the bosses, plus with all the pre-trip preparations and what not I was quite burnt out even before we took off to San Francisco.

We were in a ski resort up in the mountains the whole time. There was obviously not much to do up there. We even had to drive midway down the mountain to look for more decent food. There were mountains, mountains, and mountains. Spent most of the time cooped in the apartment doing work stuff. I mean I did enjoy the HUGE apartment with a living room, kitchenette, fireplace and at least 2 bathrooms, but I AM a workaholic and given the time difference I found myself working even longer than my usual work hours. Mornings & afternoons spent attending meetings and preparing for upcoming meetings, and responding to usual office stuff in the night.

But it was a good change being away from home, escaping from the really hot weather in Singapore. We also did visit the Yellowstone National Park. It was like a geography field trip, the park was rather scenic and colourful, but unfortunately we didn't see many animals there. One lasting impression of the park was the huge lake that was completely iced over.

It was an iceball, not snowball. See the frozen over lake.
