On To Lander, WY!!

Lander, WY...not much to say about it! We just got here yesterday, so we haven't had a chance to see much of the town. Like every other town here in Wyoming, it's pretty small. There are a few things I really like about Wyoming, and one of them is how many old buildings there are here. You know when you watch a movie that's set back in the 50's and you kind of wish things were still like that? Well here (especially in Lander) things pretty much are. Like the movie
theater sign is one like I've only seen in movies where it sticks out over the top of the entrance and has the blinking lights going all the way around it. I got a kick out of that. And everything just seems really small town and everyone knows everyone. You can walk down main street and walk into these old shops that people still own and run.
Of course i'd never buy any ofit because it's all stuff that has actually been there since the fifties and looks like it hasbeenpreviously used, but it's still fun to go in and look around. Things like those old porcelain cats that old ladies collect are a hot item in this state. We are staying at the Frontier Inn which is kind of fun. It's set up like a fort! And it's all made out of wood (even the bed frames) and they have bears and horses and lots of different silhouettes of animals all over the place. It definitely makes me feel like we are in cowboy country! Andy really wants a cowboy hat so he can fit in, and I think I'll surprise him with one because he looks pretty darn cute in them!!
