La vida es loca. Quiero experimentar lo todo. It's all becoming so real. Daily conversations, detailed itineraries, a potential sublet; my life is progressing full force down an unknown path. Oh.... the joy. Today Alex came by to meet the roomies and check out the place. She was really cool, calm, collected; the perfect roommate. The day progressed into a blur of internet perusing and a stellar caffeine buzz. It seems that every turn I take continues to direct me to South America. A friend living in Lima for the summer, a hook up in Buenos Aires, an ideal 5 day [View Full Entry]

Day 1 This weekend Eric and I took a long three day weekend to go see the fam. We had to get up at 3:30 to make our plane by 6:00am. We arrived in Colorado and waited for Adam to pick us up at the airport. As we were waiting we went outside to see the Rocky Mountains. This was my first time in Colorado and I have never seen any Mountain range like the Rockies. What was so surprising to me was how big the mountains were compared to the rest of the area. It was very flat besides the [View Full Entry]

Well let me think where did we leave off? Erm I think we were on the train to Denver. Well that was brilliant (apparently this term gives us away as English people, so now we are sticking with awesome!) we had our own little and I mean little cabin, that involves two seats facing each other then about 30 cm before a sliding door separating us from the corridor. The two chairs slid to meet each other to make one bed and above our heads was a let down bunk - brilliant I mean awesome! The view out of the [View Full Entry]

First Night Jennifer got in last night without a hitch, even ahead of schedule. I decided to surprise her since I dropped dad off early and catch her coming out of the terminal. I had suspected she might start doing some intensive shopping in the concourse rather than come to the terminal, so I waited for 30 minutes intently watching every tram load of passengers trying to find her . . . argh! So easily distracted by shiny perfume bottles! We are at the Hotel Boulderado as guests of one of the owners, Frank, who I am working with to do [View Full Entry]

The weather continues to control our visit here in this area. The mountain pass in the park is still closed and the skies over the mountains indicate that it is possibly snowing up there. The skies to the south of us were partially blue so we decided to head in the direction of Boulder and potentially better weather. Although Frank had researched the scenic routes well before the trip we made one slight detour was to the Colorado Welcome Center to gather more material and maps. Boulder is the home of The Flatirons and Chautauqua park. The Flatirons, named by pioneer [View Full Entry]

Hoi allemaal, We dachten: we zullen toch maar een foto van onze SUPERCAMPER op de blog zetten dus hier is hij!!! Mooi hè! We zijn (nadat we Enya en Una hadden afgezet aan het vliegtuig) met de Greyhoundbus naar Denver gereden - 33 uur op de bus 2 nachten en 1 dag = lang, korte stops, geen fatsoenlijk eten en de laatste nacht geen toilet behalve vieze op de bus... geen aanrader... maar wel EEN ERVARING! ;))) In Denver niet echt een auto gevonden, dan de bergen in getrokken, een lieve Nederlander Lex tegengekomen die een camper wist staan in Black [View Full Entry]

I've been out on the road for two months now and just after my mile marker 2000, finally arrived in Boulder Colorado. The Rockies are so beautiful in the summertime - I've been surrounded by aspen groves, huge fields of wildflowers, mighty rivers, giant mountains, and raging waterfalls. I met some awesome cross country cyclists in Telluride who are headed west, and then Joyce, a telluride local, joined me for 5 days as we pushed up and over the high passes toward Boulder. It was great to have another adventurous spirit to keep me company on the road. Every mile could [View Full Entry]
