Miles 2641-2657: Bozeman

We woke up in the morning and all did our own thing: Mom looked online for things to do in Bozeman, Dad went on a run, Jackson played a game on his computer, and I watched Netflix. Breakfast was delicious breakfast burritos. Online, Mom found a climbing gym in Bozeman, Spire, that she would take us to. Dad dropped us off there and took the car to get serviced. The climbing gym was so awesome. I doubt there’s one like it in North Carolina, much less near Winston-Salem. Most of their walls were around fifty feet tall. They had auto-belay, top rope, lead rope, and normal belay climbing. They also had bouldering (about ten foot walls that you climb without a rope). I loved it so much; Jackson said he liked it, but got bored/tired after a while. I would have stayed there much longer if my hands had been used to it. I’ll need to build up calluses if I want to keep climbing, which I do. We went out to lunch in downtown Bozeman at Backcountry Burger Bar, where I got chicken and vegetable soup in tomato broth, which sounds weird, but was actually really good. We went to an ice cream place across the street. It took me a very long time to decide, but I got a milk-and-cookies milkshake. Milk-and-cookies was basically cookies-and-cream with chocolate ice cream. It was delicious. We drove to Montana State University to practice field hockey and baseball respectively. We went back to the climbing gym for a little more, but our arms were tired after a few more runs. Thanks to Hannah for getting me into climbing!! I love it now! We went back to the apartment and walked to dinner at Montana Ale House. We had what I called Asianized American, Americanized Asian, and Americanized Mexican: Asian teriyaki wings, bison pot stickers, and bean dip with chips. It was delicious. Back at the apartment, we finished the Two Towers. It was an awesome movie. Can’t wait to watch Return of the King!!
