Telluride, CO

---

Tuesday Oct. 30 - Woke up in Telluride, Colorado and went to Hannah's bar for sandwhich's. Made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and then went to Laura's bar for a poetry slam and trivia.

Wednesday Oct. 31 - We went for a short hike to a waterfall and a stream. When we got back to town we saw a Halloween parade with all the kids from town dressed up in costumes. In the evening, Andy dressed up as Thor and I dressed up as a cowgirl and we went to Laura's coffee house/bar to sing karaoke and hang out with geneva's friends.

Thursday Nov. 1 - I woke up and made cinnamon rolls and then ran along the san miguel river trail. It was a tough run because of the elevation but absolutely stunning views.

Friday Nov. 2 - We went on a hike called Via Ferrata that's considered "extreme hiking" if you google it. The hike is at about 10,000 ft elevation and you clip a carabener to some cables to shimmy along the side of a mountain. It's more terrifying than it sounds. Fun fact -- "via ferrata" means "by way of iron" in italian. The hike is named after a technique used by the italian army to cross the alps. Go to this link to see a quick video of the hike that someone posted a few months ago --

Nov. 3 - We leave tomorrow morning for Texas and may not have internet for a little while. But we'll update when we can.

wow, that "hike" is amazing. Looks like the nearest thing to bungee jumping there is! So glad you two are having such a great time. Love you, need I say, "stay safe"? Linda/Mom
