successful attempt to go for the circle of fire!

laogong & me on board the bus for circle of fire!

the bus-full of pple.
they paid 55usd each for this trip!
we get to go for it for free.
hehe.

the driver....

and we arrived in grant village to pick up more pple!

the company who owns all the national parks.
xanterra...
me with our tour bus.
the weather was supposed to be turning hot.
hence i wore skirt for the trip.
but the weather was really unpredictable.
at least i have my cardigen with me.
hehe.

pictures of the lake as we drove pass it!

we reached the yellowstone lake hotel.
its one of the oldest hotel in yellowstone.
how from the pics below,
u can also see its one of the most modern one!
and its really pretty!

the dining area in the hotel

the reception area.

the exterior of the hotel.
our bus is parked right outside.
=)

me with the lake.
its brrrr-ing cold!
i had on 2 jackets!

laogong with the lake.
pretty hor?

and next we went to the upper falls of yellowstones.




some pictures of it...
we can't take a photo with it coz,
our face would be huge & the waterfall would be tiny.
so the effect wouldn't be nice,
and i wld look fat.
haha.

den we arrived at artist point.
it was said by the bus driver to be the most photographed area in yellowstone!
and we are the lucky last few to be able to go there...
coz they are going to be closed in a few wks,
for renovations of the carpark.
haha.



its a valley!
first time i've ever seen one.
and actually...
the photos look really fake right?
but its real!
jiawen&jinwei with the waterfall behind us.



it really looks like those chinese feng jing hua.
with san shui shu mu.
(hills, water, trees & wood)
haha.
direct translation.

another picture with the waterfall.
nice!

after artist point,
we were all hungry.
reached canyon village for lunch!
(which was really disappointing =()
luckily we have much better food in old faithful snowlodge.
else really dunno how to survive!



just some random shots..

stopping here.
its too long & our stomachs are growling.
promise to continue when the time is right.
hehe.
