On June 21st, we headed to Yellowstone National Park. It began to get colder. We got rain and wet snow. Passengers began to get sick. Was it Norovirus? The Tour Director began sanitizing the bus and the passengers. We were told to drink lots of fluids and keep washing/sanitizing our hands. We were offered sanitizer every time we got off and on the bus. Since we changed seats daily, María and I began sanitizing where we sat as an added precaution. From this point on one or two passengers would get sick daily. Luckily, María and I did not get sick! In Yellowstone, our hotel room had no radio or TV. Cell phone reception was nil for most of the passengers. We stayed in Grant Village. We spent 2 nights here. |
