Boulder


So right when I got to Boulder I had the good fortune of making my first Boulder resident friend. I met Rob at the Southern Sun Restaurant Pub and Brewery. We went on this awesome hike just a 15 minute drive out of town a few days later!

Waterfalls galore. I can't tell you how beautiful it is out here. So many flowers, trees, mountains, lakes....literally minutes away! And everyone loves hiking here!

Not only do they love hiking these people are fit and happy. I took a walk on Pearl street which is the main downtown rd. I ran into this guy playing and singing on his piano. Some random Boulderans are joining in on his singing here! There is all kinds of great music as you walk down Pearl street.


This is or first rommies night together at the West End Tavern on Pearl St.! Meg is on the right and Erin is in the middle.

So I got a job....or atleast I had one. Haha, Erin and I decided to celebrate me getting a job by going to the restaurant for dinner. It was a nice but casual restaurant called the medditteranean. I had to wear a white collared button up shirt with a tie and a black skirt! After a few days I decided it wasn't for me and quit. But, hey I'm still looking forward to eating the spanish, italian, french, morroccan, greek delicious food they have there. Now looking for a job, ideally part time waitressing and part time working at a gym. An independant bookstore would be nice too. I've been searching idealist.org and counseling psychology grad programs in the area as well. so we'll see....
Alrighty ya'll, sorry it took my so long to write. Laura I need to give you a call soon. Did you move into the New Orleans boonies or something!? Haven't heard from ya?!

Last Week with a Real Job!

Going to see the Drowsy Chaperone tonight at Orpheum. But this may just be a cover for trying not to make decisions relating to future job prospects...

I'll fill you guys in after Friday, but I am nearly at my wits end

Ariane weren't we going to see this play?

John Muir Trail



Top left: Pretty picture from the trail. Top Right: sis and I at the top of Mt. Whitney (elevation 14,505 ft.) yes it was quite a hike up there. Bottom left: me leaving our campsite at about 8 in the morning. We walked from sun up to sun down everyday...its what we did. Bottom right: my sis and I at the top of Pinchot pass. Definitely the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. My sister was sure I was going to find her lifeless body on the side of the trail.


Top left: pretty view from the trail. Top right: sis crossing some snow. Luckily this is as bad as it got. Bottom left: me halfway up Mather Pass. Every JMT hiker knows this climb as the "golden stair case". It's considered the toughest pass on the trail. Your basically walking uphill on switchbacks all day! Bottom right: Ted the marmot who was with us the whole trip!


Top left: Iris on the top of halfdome. Top and bottom right: flowers! There were so many! Bottom left: mapsite just outside of Donahue pass.
