Casper

Hi all

sorry i didnt write much in denver. the hostel i was staying in had its private rooms in some lady's house. she didn't have a communal computer so i was using her personal laptop. denver was very nice. the weather was great - something like 10 degrees c! I visited the main shopping mall - its kind of like the burke st mall with shops and resturants lining the street. i had a very nice meal at a chinese resturant. entree, main, dessert and 2 burbons and coke for $30 and it was an actual resturant!

this morning i went to colorado springs and the garden of the gods. it was a long way out of the way (south 1hr when i should have been going north) but it was very nice. it is some very impressive rock monoliths.

i am currently in casper, wyoming. it took a long time to get here because of my detour. the parts of wyoming that i have seen are not very interesting - grass, grass and more grass. i think that they have cattle on the farms but it is kind of hard to tell as there are lots and lots of paddocks with nothing in them but grass. there is the occassional cow.

i have been having trouble getting more credit for my phone - they dont call it 'mobile phone credit' here but i dont know what they do call it so noone seems to know what i am looking for.

mum - thanx for talking to bax hill for me

claire - it is nice to know that im not the only one to forget about different time zones. how was the honey moon?

hope your all having a good time and that the weather is nice - it is going to be 70 here tomorrow!

later
