This is a special week as I am visiting Yellowstone National Park for the first time, adding one more stamp to my National Parks Passport. I’m enjoying my stay in a cute little cabin in an area where you can cross three states in the span of 30 minutes. It’s honestly a fantastic time to be at the park, on an off week, because the crowds are quite tame.
I can finally say I have experienced Old Faithful. We enjoyed some time in the general store to pick up some of the famous ice cream, which I traded for some hot chocolate because how do people eat that cold delight in such temperatures? After that it was time to see Old Faithful in real life. It’s fascinating they’ve got the eruptions down to a science, although not precise. Hearing the pressure build up and to finally see the magnificent spout reach for the sky like the fountain show at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas without the use of man-made technology was impressive. We visited various other geysers in the vicinity and even got a close-up experience with a bison enjoying his dinner. Apparently, the force of Old Faithful is more intense in the summertime, but it was impressive enough for a first timer like me.
We later enjoyed a walk through Old Faithful Inn, built in 1904 with some of the most beautiful architecture I’ve seen recently. The property used to do tours, but, due to COVID, they are no longer doing them. You can still walk around and get a bird’s-eye view of the lobby. All guests are required to wear masks inside the property. The terrace here is another great location to see Old Faithful with a warm drink in hand.
I’ll have more to report in my next blog!

Nov 9, 2026Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past
I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.
