Day 3 Bozeman and Livingston

Day 3: Bozeman

QOTD:  A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues

Pics: None of Bozeman (Is it a good thing? THB forgot to bring the camera along today), 2^nd Street Bistro, Sacajawea Park

Weather:  Cool accelerating to high 70s at mid-day and low 90s in late afternoon and evening, clear skies and longggggg visibility

Dept of Correction: no “e” at end of Livingstone (“e” remains at end of Yellowstone)

Breakfast to sourdough rye toast at B’s and then slices of the Trail Loaf at Wild Crumb in Bozeman (another bakery worth a detour!).

Hike on Drinking Horse Mountain (phew, THB is glad we went early, it’s getting hot) and then tour of downtown Bozeman (thriving, very few vacancies on Main Street) and a spicy lunch at La Tinga: pork and pollo verde tacos, rice and beans, tamarindo ice tea, total for three, $18 (a bargain, and very competitive to better than many Bay Area taquerias).

Nap in Livingston (no e) and then dinner in town (no e) at 2^nd Street Bistro, a very good French style place: endive salad and pear and pecans and pumpkin seeds salad, scallops, local duck breast, cassoulet, amber ale, gintini, and bottle of very good Gascogne (with e) white wine, $160 for three.

Book Review: well, half a book review. Making Babies: Stumbling into Motherhood, Anne Enright. A memoir of delivering two children in her late 30s. Good when discussing childbirth (and how not good that is) and then turns into pablum as the kids get past the first few months. Unfinished
