Madness in Montana

Montana: Big Sky Country. That it is too. Every time I visit I remember just how beautiful them mountains are. Michigan, although nice, does not have the majestic views that Bozeman offers.

I had a busy week of relaxing, reading, visiting, drinking, concerting, hiking, eating and shopping, which was unfortunately semi-limited due to my lack of funds.

A rock-star themed Halloween party was attended. My disdain for costume/theme parties has not yet wained so I participated by dressing in everyday clothes and calling myself an exchange student - oh! I did paint my nails black...

On another note, here is an excerpt of a conversation I had at the bar...(fyi- Indian refers to Native American, not India):
Random dude: "Hey, is your friend Indian?"

My cousin: "No dude, she's Korean"

As random dude taps my shoulder: "Hey, are you Indian?"

Me: "Are you serious?"

Random Dude: "Yeah, it's fine, I grew up on a reservation"

Me: "Cool"

And I thought my students in Korea were bad...but, to be fair, I saw a woman at the Bright Eyes show and thought she was Asian until we got closer and my cousins pointed out that she was Native...

Anyway, some shots from the week.
Fun times.
