Leila pointed the car south for a day of walking boardwalks around geysers, mud pots, and various hot water. It was all beautiful, and splendid to spend it with my wife of 46 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our anniversary was spent enjoying God\u2019s creation. We saw colors, both in the sky above and the pools below that dazzled the eyes.  Our timing worked out, we saw a number of geysers  pumping heaven only knows just how much water into the sky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later we had a nice dinner at the Old Faithful Inn dining room. The building is a lovely lodge style, and the dining room went right along with that style. It must be late in the season; we asked for a glass of wine and were informed that the hotel was completely out. Ah well, the dinner was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, tomorrow will take us to more corners of the park. We\u2019ll see water in a lot of different forms\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\"
