We survived the first week at Old Faithful

Well we both survived the first week and we feel more comfortable in our new jobs. I worked 33 hours the first week and Mary Ann worked 27.5 hours. Yesterday was our Saturday so we drove to Norris Geyser Basin and did a hike around the geysers there. Then we drove into the big city of West Yellowstone(927 year round population & 1500 in the summer) which is about 32 miles from Old Faithful(see picture). We picked up a few things we needed at the hardware store, had lunch at McDonald's(can you believe it) and spent several hours at the Bear/Wolf discovery center which proved to be quite entertaining. As we were Yellowstone employees, instead of $9.50 each, it was free. Tomorrow it is back to work. I am scheduled for 37.5 hours this week but hope to work less after I am completely trained. Mary Ann is only scheduled for 22 hours.
