SHARING OUR TRIP

SHARING OUR TRIP


Here it is already the middle of September, time to start thinking about the Uiad "rentrée", back-to-school!

This blog was started on April 16th, 2017 and continued every day until the day we left for Wyoming on June 16th, 2017.  

Three months have passed since then.  Summer.
It's September 16th, 2017 and, as promised, the blog is now coming back to life so that the students who took this fabulous trip can share with everyone some of their photos along with a short write-up in English.  With no particular chronological order, students will choose what they would like to present.  It will be difficult for them to make a choice.  Every day was special, unique, marvellous.

Elisabeth will be the first to contribute:

How difficult it is to select a theme !!!!;-



Looking back at all the good times I experienced during this trip, one of the most stunning was the encounter with the bison.  At the Cheyenne River Buffalo Ranch, we met Dan O'Brien and his family.  We wandered the Great Plains through his herd of buffalo.  It was amazing, wonderful.....












In addition to Dan's herd, in Custer or in West Yellowstone there were great coloured bison which were so impressive.







Finally, in the Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Wyoming, I was impressed by this painting by Robert Batsman (1997) named "Chief".  It seems so real that I thought it was a photograph !
