So Boulder is pretty much exactly how you'd expect, with mountains, skinny people in hiking boots, health food stores, scores of delicious local restaurants and breweries, used bookstores, and cute little boutiques. The whole town lies at the feet of the Rockies. I can see mountains out my window.
We've hit candy stores, toured the Celestial Seasonings factory, eaten vegan food, and driven on winding mountain roads. Last night we ate at a teahouse imported from Tajikstan (yes, the actual building) and the couple at the next table got engaged. Today we're going to Rocky Mountain National Park and the the hotal that inspired Stephen King to write The Shining.
Boulder is awesome and this vacation is the best idea I've had in months.
