- Denver International Airport
3PM in DEN, waiting for flight to SLC and then HLN. A little strange to be surround by English—on the TV, the woman talking at the bar, the bartender, the signs. It makes things feel a little more crowded; Spanish, when it didn’t directly apply to me—someone talking to me, the name of a bus, something I purposefully attempted to understand, slipped around me more easily. I think this is temporary. I had seen the big white tents of DEN on my way to Costa Rica in early February; spending a little time under them makes me feel like I’m on a Hajj. I think I read and saw pictures of a new terminal in Jeddah that I am reminded of.
I am glad to be here and getting on my way to Montana and The Long Walk.

I did the Denver to SLC hop on my first Sundance trip—I love how the Denver airport sells postcards of the Denver airport. They think those fake mountains are really something. Good luck + stay safe!
