Boulder, Colarado

Our time in Boulder seemed to be mostly dedicated to working on the blog.  During our time there we stayed at my mom’s old friend’s house.  Since my mom used to live in Boulder she was exited to show me everything that she remembered.  Our first order of business was to do laundry.  Seriously our "laundry" method so far had been to dive in a river with our pants on, and things were starting to smell really bad.  Also the elevation had given me two bloody noses in a row at night, and my sheets were starting to look like a murder scene. Our next order of business was to find Lisa's house.  As it turned out there were a million Lisas in the phone book. My mom remembered that Lisa used to live in Sunshine Canyon.  Thankfully according to my mom Lisa hadn't changed at all.  We found her in the exact same house as she had lived in 25 years ago.  She also had the same phone number and haircut as when my mom knew her. 

Day one was just getting into Boulder and setting up our camper in Steven and Lisa's driveway.  Eventually I wound up sleeping on the couch because the wind was threatening to blow over our camper. That was fine with me; the Wi-Fi was better inside, plus they had an X-box. Day two we just toured around Boulder and saw what there was to see.  At the end of the day we went to see a hockey game.  My favorite part was this woman who was standing behind us screaming things at the ref things that I can’t put in this blog.  On day three I worked on the blog the entire fre***ng day.  Day four was a lot of  fun.  My dad and I went rock climbing in El Dorado State Park.  I learned how to rappel down the rock, and I learned how to belay my dad, (which was significantly easier now that he didn't lift me off the ground when he fell).
