In my new Boulder home

WEll, we made it in one piece. It was stormy night in Kansas City, probably one of the biggest storms I have encountered. And I was in a tent!!! I felt very rough and rugged. Poor Justin. His tent leaked and he was doing the backstroke until the storm abated. AFter a morning swim, we packed the car and headed out to Boulder. Kansas is the longest and most boring state. Note to self, don't move to Kansas. No mountain...no beach....just very flat fields.  The most exciting thing was a windmill farm. Those windmills were monstrous! I thought about Don Quixote attacking them on horseback, which made me realize that I would probably do the same thing if I had no idea what they were. We took pictures:)
At this point in time, both Justin and I were craving donuts. Don't ask me why but we were. I haven't had a donut for probably a year. So we researched on Justin's handy dandy Blackberry and found a donut shop in Hays, Kansas. Well not much to Hays Kansas except for men on motorcycles. Sadly, that donut shop went out of business. We tried the next potential donut place in a Kansas town...I don't even remember the name because the only place that was there was a McDonalds and a run down pizza shop. No donuts either. Well, our donut search ended. Comon Kansas. We know you have police! Where are the donuts???
Flat flat Kansas. I drove for nine hours and my body started to twitch of hunger and tiredness. I realized that human beings cannot go without food for very long. We are so dependable on that roadside burger or foot long sub at Subway. You get to a point where your hunger is beyond control and you might eat the steering wheel.
Finally, we made it to Boulder. I was (and still am) in awe of the mountains. I turned off the radio and soaked in the wonderful vibration of these majestic mountains. My heart rang true with these wonderful peaks ahead of me. I wanted to drink them in. We made it to my humble abode. It is so quaint with a deck surrounded by trees. The kitchen is the perfect size. Windows all around with a spacious living room. My room couldn't be better. I think I like small little rooms. Very cozy.  A little fairy cottage.
This morning we had pancakes with Lacey and her boyfriend. Best banana pancakes ever. Whoever visits me, we are going to the Original Pancake House for breakfast. Cheap and yummy. A big step up from IHOP. Afterwards, Justin and I perused around Naropa's campus and took a gander in the bookstore. Checking out all the reading I will be delving into these next couple of months. So excited! We then went to the Asian festival on Pearl Street. We kind of ran into it not knowing where we were going. Stores from various locations set up their booth. I ran into Tibetan Sisters which is Khenpo Tenpa Yungdrung's sister's store. I met his brother Tsering. Small world. The festival had music, dances, and great food. Justin and I got smoothies and just took in the culture.
AFter a heart felt goodbye to Justin, I am now back in my little fairy cottage. Oh I hit up Whole Foods twice already....mom this is what Woodstock has been missing. I love Whole Foods! And I desperately need a GPS.
Keep it real everyone. Stay in touch. Much love and happiness.
