I just got back from a week in Montana, visiting my family. My friends Carolyn and Ayano came along to experience the 4th of July, Home of The Champions Rodeo, and get a taste of where I grew up in Big Sky country. Carolyn's from LA and Ayano's from Tokyo, so neither have had a trip quite like this.
