The WYOMING STATE CAPITOL BUILDING! (Yeehaw!) - December 6, 2001
 |
Well, I visited Wyoming yesterday and hung out at the Wyoming Capitol Building. I've got some really fun pictures here ... you must scroll down! :) |
 |
It was very windy outside so I was very pleased to learn the capitol building was open. |
 |
The General Assembly deliberates here. |
 |
Check out this Indian sculpture. I love it. |
 |
Wyoming, just like Colorado, teamed with buffalo in the "old days." I am becoming more and more fascinated with the legacy of the buffalo. Heck, I even love EATING BUFFALO! :P |
 |
I had so much fun! The interesting thing was I think I was the only tourist there! That's a shot of me next to a huge Abraham Lincoln sculpture. WHAT A BIG HEAD ... HA HA HA HA HA HA! |
 |
Guys! I met the Wyoming Secretary of State,
Joseph Meyer, and even got a picture of us! THIS TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!
I felt a little bad that I was so underdressed. (In fact, I think I need a
"wardrobe makeover." I look terrible in that shot.) Anyhow, the folks working in
the Capitol building were so friendly. I walked into the
governor's office and humbly introduced myself as a tourist from Colorado.
Immediately I received a warm welcome! I asked if I could get a picture of the governor,
but the secretary said Governor Geringer was not in town. Then another
friendly gentleman (I want to say his name was Max, but I'm not sure. I do know he was the State Auditor) walked me over
to Mr. Meyer's office. It turns out he's also the Lieutenant Governor - so
I shook hands with the #2 man in Wyoming! AMAZING! |
 |
The ceiling was quite beautiful. |
 |
The Wyoming State Flag! |
 |
As I said, I think I was the only
tourist in the building at the time. And everyone seemed
to be working as if it were a regular work day in an ordinary office building. What a great time I had! |
 |
I got a shot of Wyoming bureaucrats, all seven of them,
busily working on something. :) |
