Day 9 (D-54) The Beaches of Cheyennes... What???

Day 9 (D-54) The Beaches of Cheyenne...WHAT???

It's time for a break.  Another song.  Country music.  A musical genre with a story to tell.
Listen to the song, The Beaches of Cheyenne. 
Can you understand why Garth Brooks sings about the beaches of Cheyenne? 
I hope you like Country music as much as I do.

    Actually it is a nice love story with a sad end. When we will be in Cheyenne, i'll look for her footprints on the sand. i 'll go down by the water ant i'll walk the beaches of Cheyenne.

    I do like Country music. I discovered this song when I was surfing two years ago, doing research for my first trip out to Wyoming. It's a song that sticks to you. You are right Philippe: it is a love story with a sad ending. We'll take time to walk the beaches of Cheyenne when we are there!
    I'm so happy to see that you are following the blog regularly, Philippe. And I'm happy to have my new Freebox so that I can communicate through my blog. I hope that others will be inspired to write short comments from time to time.

Day 12 (D-51) South Dakota / The Lakota / The Black Hills We'll leave Wyoming on Monday, September 9th, the third day of our trip, to spend two days in our third state,  South Dakota , and then return to Wyoming.  What a treat: we'll be staying three nights in the hotel in Rapid City.   A few facts first about South Dakota: Capital:  Pierre Became a state:    1889 Population:  815,000  (85% white; 8% Native American)  https://suburbanstats.org/population/how-many-people-live-in-south-dakota It's  named after the Lakota and Dakota Sioux Native American tribes.   The Sioux are a confederacy of several tribes--> Lakota, Dakota, Nakota were their different dialects. Lakota and Dakota are different pronunciations for the same tribal name which means "allies".

The group has returned; the blog is back too!

Image
It's already the month of November!  The group flew to the USA on September 7, 2019 and came back to Grenoble on September 19th.  It's time to bring this blog back to life by sharing some of their experience with you. But first, I have a confession to make.  After all this preparation...an unexpected turn of events.  On September 5th, I found myself in hospital with a little health problem which meant that the group left on September 7th, but without me. 😞   You can imagine how disappointed I was! 😞 But c'est la vie. The students had a fabulous trip and I can share some of their photos/videos with everyone. To start, here's Michèle's photo of the group at Dan O'Brien's ranch.  Photos of the many bison they saw will be posted soon. More later. My best, Jane
