thermopolis

Yes, thermopolis not metropolis:)  thermopolis, Wyoming is the home of the world's largest mineral hot springs.  Not exactly what I imagined.  I was thinking it would be something like bathing in a natural spring, but it's not.  This hot spring funnels into manmade hot tubs and into various water parks in the Town.  (the hot tub thoroughly grossed me out--i did not stay in long!) The town is extremely small, but we had a good time.  We ate at the Black Bear Cafe for breakfast, which I highly recommend if you take a road trip through there!  hope you enjoy the pics.

shawn found the swinging bridge and thought it was hilarious because I was terrified of it.

he forced me to go out on the bridge so I could get a pic of this:)
