First weeks in Ashland


Hello Everyone!

This is the first of what we hope will be many posts to keep you all updated on our lives here in Ashland!

We arrived three weeks ago after a long (27 hour!) bus ride from Orientation in Portland and have since jumped head first into life in Montana.

Our first full weekend here was spent camping out at Crow Fair, otherwise known as "the tipi capital of the world." During the day on Saturday we watched, what was for most of us, our first rodeo, and at night we attended the pow wow. Watching all of the dancers and hearing the loud beat of the drum circles even as we crawled into bed later that night (into our tipi ) was a wonderfully new experience for all of us!
The following morning, we stopped by Little Big Horn Battlefield and took in some amazing views of the Montana skyline. After a great weekend together, we headed back to Ashland and to warm greetings from "Pup," the vigilant guardian and caretaker of our house.
More to come soon!

With love,
Ashland
