kimberkitIt's been three days since we've been in Colorado, and in that time, I have learned several things. Amongst lessons learned:
Colorado is very pretty.
This is the view out our window in the morning:
Driving around all by myself is actually pretty nice. I used to be such a nervous control freak about driving, but gorgeous scenery is a good way to not mind it so much.
I'm still not quite adjusted to the time difference, so I've been getting up at sunrise and driving around, pulling over and taking shots as it strikes me:
Sadly, Neil and I both get altitude sick. Apparently, oxygen is important. Photos of puking not included.
Target has everything! It is so weird for this New York girl to walk into a place and be able to do lots of shopping all in one place. I'd forgotten a swim suit, and I was able to pick one up when no other store had them around, and Neil got khakis, milk, orange juice, shampoo, mosquito repellant, and goggles. All in one swoop! Also, this was the view outside of Target our first evening:
Taking photos out a car window while in the passenger seat is totally doable, even if you're going 65 mph. (We went to a hot springs a few hours away on our second day, and I caught a bunch of interesting sights then.)
Shots out the car window:
... and shots I made Neil and Neil's parents pull over for:
You need special shoes to go hiking up a 14,000 foot mountain. It gets a little steep and knees and ankles are likely to twist and go out from underneath you otherwise. Also, I am out of shape like wow. (Photos from this part of today to come.)
