I went to a farmer's market in Montana today! So fun. Like Santa Cruz, but minus the drum circle, plus a few bison meat stands, and a whole lot colder. Bought some artisan chocolate for Vanessa, a friend of Emily's with whom I'll be staying with tonight in Bozeman. Also stocked up at the Good Food Store, the most awesome grocery store I've ever been to. No need to wax on about grocery stores in this blog, just take my word for it...
Was on the road by midday. Listened to local radio, which was a lot of country music (although I'm not a big fan of the genre, it matched the landscape pretty well). An easy 3 hour drive to Bozeman. Vanessa is an architect who lives with a 14 year old terrier in a great 1930's cottage which she's remodeling. Super friendly, and I get to stay in the guest house--in a little loft! So cool. We went out to dinner at a place called the Naked Noodle, which is all about pasta (heaven!) Indulged in 4-cheese macaroni and cheese. Soooo delicous. Probably soooo bad for me. Don't even care at this point.
Vanessa is also the captain and coach of a coed hockey league (!) and took me to a hockey party in the neighborhood. Met a lot of interesting characters, which was enhanced by the side-comments from Vanessa about what kind of ice-skater they were. Ended up participating/watching a jam session which included guitar, keyboard, drums, and a jaw harp. Yup. (My participating was banging on the drums now and then.) That's how they party in these parts.
