Jun 28 - Tune-Yards

We just got back to Missoula from Glacier National Park, and it was pretty great. We went kayaking yesterday for a couple hours, and then got up early this morning (sort of not by choice, partially due to jetlag and partially due to the trains that ran right by our campsite) (also a note on our camping, it was not real camping, it was like glamping. Not really glamorous, but we basically rented a tipi with cots and had to do nothing to set it up. It was pretty perfect). Then this morning we took a drive through the park up the Going To The Sun Road, which takes you through the mountains towards the north, until we hit a place called Logan's Point. From there, it was a 1.5 mile hike across snow to visit Hidden Lake, which was hidden and beautiful. It was a pretty great hike, except now I'm horribly sunburnt on my neck. Which is not at all great. But all in all, a wonderful trip up to Glacier, and a beautiful park.

Part of the reason for the burn is also the crazy heatwave going on now. It's been like 100 degrees this entire time. It's so uncomfortable. And in honor of that we're going to listen to Fiya today, by one of my favorite artists, Tune-Yards. It's off her first album, Bird Brains, which my sister put on in the car on the drive back. Haven't listened to this album in a while, but it's a great one.
