About a year ago, my family and I moved to Colorado from Centerville, Ohio. It was an 18 hour drive here, but we had to stop a lot because my grandma was with us. The first night we stayed in a hotel called Comfort Inn. The service was great, but we had to eat at a local restaurant that was absolutely horrible. The food was either cold or burnt to a crisp. The next night we stayed another hotel called Holiday Inn. We ate (again) at a little restaurant they had downstairs. The food was to die for! I don’t think [View Full Entry]

So. One morning we were in class and our director mentioned to the girls that one of the guys small groups decided to bless us with a gift. He said we would know what it is when we saw it but not to try and find out who it was as they wanted to remain anonymous. We were all wondering what it could possibly be and later on that day we roamed back up to our lodge and infact there was a suprise. The most amazing, loving thing which blessed us unconditionally was plastered up in our bathroom. It was beautiful. [View Full Entry]

Hallo allemaal! Weer een bericht uit de JOE ES OF EE! Afgelopen weekend fall break gehad en een roadtrip gedaan. Op vrijdag zijn we van Kearney naar Denver gereden, twee dagen erna van Denver naar Rapid City (South Dakota) en dinsdag zijn we terug gereden. 2000 kilometer in totaal! Denver is heel anders dan Kearney; er is openbaar vervoer (dat is hier in Nebraska niet!), er is veel aan de gang op straat en er zijn leuke kroegen waar mensen relaxed een biertje drinken 's avonds. Eindelijk waren we weer een beetje in de bewoonde wereld :), veel mensen liepen ook [View Full Entry]

There was a time I considered moving to Denver back in the 70's and 80's. I mentioned that I met a bunch of guys from Denver on a trip to Aspen. They invited me to visit them on my many trips East. I would often stop in Denver for a day or two on the way back, either to ski or just party with these animals. Bill has a great house in the hills west of Denver, in an upscale area called Evergreen. At various times, he had Kurt or Art living with him. Bill's twin brother, John, is a Denver [View Full Entry]

Continued travelling South through Wyoming, passing more cowboy towns. The last week has been a bit like a spaghetti western with all the cowboy and indian towns. Not to much to report today though, travelled another 300 odd miles and reached Denver late in the arvo. On the recommendations of few people we went to Casa Bonita , a mexican restaraunt, for tea. I had heard about it from watching South Park, it was Cartmans fave place. Googled it before we left and everyone said it was a great fun place ,food not so good though. Well they were wrong, the [View Full Entry]

One of the things that I missed during my 1.5 years of travel was the family get togethers when we made turtle soup. In stating turtle soup, the first question from everyone's mouth is, "you make soup from turtle?" I then say yes, but the turtle is optional. The soup is made of about 17 ingredients and really is a vegetable soup with chicken, beef and turtle if available or desired. Most people who have never had it, describe it as being like chili. I am not sure how to describe it. For me it is just turtle soup! Because of [View Full Entry]

Letzten Sonntag habe ich es endlich mal geschafft nach Denver zu fahren. Mit dem Bus braucht man ungefähr eine Stunde von Boulder in die Innenstadt von Denver, die Fahrt kostet nur vier Dollar und dank einer Menge komischer Leute im Bus war die Fahrt auch noch recht unterhaltsam. Denver ist die Hauptstadt von Colorado, im Stadtgebiet leben ca. 590.000 Menschen, im Ballungsraum etwa 2,6 Millionen. Damit ist Denver die größte Stadt im Umkreis von 1000 Kilometern. 11,3 % der "Denverites" haben übrigens Deutsche Vorfahren. Die Stadt liegt genau eine Meile (1,6 km) über dem Meeresspiegel, daher d [View Full Entry]

So i got to do some fun things with some local colorado-ans...It is a pretty crazy story and i think God is pretty funny when he does stuff you dont expect. Especially when it is out of the blue and far beyond co-incidence. So as i mentioned earlier, i stayed with a couple called Kenny and Sue (this was as soon as i arrived). I had never met them before or even been in contact before i arrived, It had been organised through Andrew and Lisa. The first day i was staying with this couple they had to work so i [View Full Entry]

On Sunday afternoon after all the travelling i had done for the past 16 hours i arrived at my final destination. DENVER. Home of the Rockies, the Broncos and 16th street. This is my home for the next 3 months =) I arrived at the airport and had some confusion as to where i would be meeting Andrew and having no idea what he looked like or anything this proved to be difficult. So i went to the games machine which has internet and put in my $2. To my dismay the flippn mouse didnt work! That machine ATE my money!! [View Full Entry]
