DAY 7: April 28--Missoula, Montana

IT’S SNOWING!!! I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning when I wake up and little flakes are floating everywhere. I run to every window, joyful, until I open the front blinds and....my car isn’t there! Only a brief panic; Emily points out it has only moved about 200 yards away. hmm. Street cleaning tow? No ticket, no problem.

Walked into downtown again, lucky for me it’s Sustainable Transportation Week which means free coffee and tea for walkers. Yay. No need to tell them I’m not on my way to work. While standing at a crosswalk with a group of elderly tourists, a woman crosses towards us through a red light (no cars, but still--the elderly and I were playing it safe). As she gets to our corner, we all realize there was a cop car waiting at the stoplight and it makes a U turn and...yes...she was pulled over while walking. My fellow rule-followers and I share a good chuckle, only feeling slightly guilty about her bad luck.

It was my plan to find the Missoula Art Museum, but after getting lost, getting directions, and finding it finally, I find that it is closed on Tuesdays. Bah.
