Rocky Mountain High

view from look out at A-basin
Tony and Justin


Yesterday was kind of a cruddy weather day. It snowed most of the day (none of it stuck) and it was windy and cold. Later in the day it got nicer so we went up to Boulder to walk around the Pearl Street Mall and eat dinner. It was such a nice evening. The people walking around were just like you would expect, eclectic - no one really looked the same (except that most men had facial hair), everyone dressed differently, originally, it was refreshing. Everyone looked really casual.

Almost everyone we've encountered here, from the McDonald's workers to the car rental guy have been super nice too. Everyone gives you a smile and tells you to have a good day.

Today we woke up early and drove up to Silverthorne to meet up with Justin. He lives in Avon, so we met half way. We drove up to A-basin for the view. AMAZING! The runs are still open and are going to be running until late June, early July!! That's crazy! But there were tons of people up there. The wind chill was in the teens, so we couldn't stay out of the car for too long, but it was beautiful. Then Tony and I decided on the way back to take the back road to Estes Park...too bad we didn't know that 2 hours in the road was still closed until June! Oh well, at least the drive was scenic!

Tonight we went and got some amazing Mexican food....New Mexico mexican food, or as close as you can get. Best part? The sophapillas came with the meal! I love that!!

So tomorrow we fly home. Time to start really going through and tossing stuff. Our apt. is only 700 sq. ft., so we need to go through a lot.
