Day one in Cody

We bought tickets for the Cody Trolley Ride and the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.  We went on the first trolley ride of the day since we're up early.  It was well-done hour of information all about the history of the town and Buffalo Bill Cody, who was the town founder.

Then we spend another 4 or 5 hours in the historical center.  It has several huge sections: the firearms museum, a gallery of western art, a Native American section, the story of Buffalo Bill's life, and a natural history museum.  The tickets are for two days, which you need to see anywhere near all of it.  They also have different guided tours and programs.  We went on a wildlife tour, during which the guide pointed out wildlife themes throughout several of the museums, and I went to the raptor program while Tommie  looked at more guns (I had seen enough!)

After we had had all the museum-looking we could stand for one day, we spent some time looking in stores, and then went to see the nightly gun-fight on the street.

This is just the main entrance.  There are several buildings.
The place is HUGE!
