We still have few days to describe here. We decided we will create post of each day, since we saw so many things that otherwise we will not remember it ourselves! :-)

But other things we still be adding here are list about the experiences, TOP 5 restaurants, TOP 10 road trip music we listened etc.

The list I promised to give was about all the wild animals we saw during this trip so let's start with that:

-Wild horses and burros (wild donkeys) (the story behind the wild horses in US is a sad one, they used to be killed for fun, meat etc, but now as the laws protect them they reproduce in huge numbers and as they do not have too many natural enemies and the herds may grow too big to actually survive in the areas they live... SO EVERYONE, GO ADOPT A MUSTANG http://www.mustangs4us.com/!)
-Deer
-Black Bear
-Elk
-Beavers
-Different types of squarrels
-Whales (Humpback)
-Sea elephants
-Sea lions
-Sea otters


Birds (lots of them we do not recognize them so here only a few)
-Different types of woodpeckers
-Hummingbirds (Kolibri in Finnish, we did not realize they would come to Colorado, they always seem so tropical for us)
-Hawks and eagles
-Ravens (they move in pairs and seemed to be following us around, the Indians see them as teachers so we thought they were trying to teach us something (at least we learned they move in pairs...))
