048 - USA - Montana Closing the circle in Montana 04/09/09 - 04/18/09 Life comes in circles. Montana marked the closure of three highly personal phases of our trip and of our lives. To begin with, this was Hannah’s first time back in her native state as a visiting adult (she flew back a couple of years ago for a funeral but didn’t spend significant time there). This was also the first ti... Read Full Entry

Laughing through tears
A note from a close friend: " Nico's narrative and the gorgeous photos perfectly capture the ambivalence that native Montanans....those who "get out and make it"....all wear just under their skin. And, as you see from Nico's description of Virginia City, "it" rubs off on those who love us. Are we of two minds about our native home? Or of two hearts? Or is it a split between the rational mind that is chagrined by the smallness of the parochial culture and the heart that opens to the generous warmth of the people. And then plunk it all down in the most gorgeous places. No wonder we are all psychotic! Here's a warning: it only gets harder as you get older. "

Montana in my bones
I not only wear Montana under my skin -- the landscape is in my bones. Transplanted temporarily to the lush state of Pennsylvania, my heart often yearns for the wide open spaces, spectacular mountain views, and dry western air. Thank you, Nico, for capturing Hannah's re-entry experience to Montana as an adult. As long as we have property and a home in Montana, it is your home also. Love, Mom
