After a short wrap up and goodbye session we had the rest of the day to ourselves so I set out for the Philadelphia Museum of Art and got to see "The Thinker" along the way. At the museum I said hi to Rocky and ran up his famous stairs - twice. Couldn't find anyone to film me though so you'll have to make […]

At the end of today's sessions we had some time to explore so, rather than go off to find a bar or clothing stores, I decided to walk down to the university bookstore and then to the Dali Museum.

I had been thinking to myself that I really don't like Helena much at all because out where we're staying the area looks like severe urban sprawl - everything is so big and so far apart, with massive roads cutting through everything and subjecting everyone to 'the tyranny of the car'. But today we visited Downtown Helena! Our presentations were all hosted in […]
To read part 9 click here. Today was amazing, the Gates of Montana boat tour was 2 hours I hope I'll remember for a very long time. We travelled down the river all the while listening to of the most knowledgeable, funny, and magnetic tour guides I've come across in ages. He could tell you about the rocks, the trees, the animals we did, and did not, see, and […]
