Boulder, Colorado
I’m sitting at a cafe called Trident. It’s on Pearl Street, just a block from the Pearl Street mall. It’s been 11 years or so since I was last in Boulder, and it’s hard to believe - it feels like it was just a few weeks ago, somehow. It hasn’t changed a lot, from what I can see. Denver has gotten a lot bigger - that was pretty obvious from driving into the area.
I might take a drive up to Fort Collins in the next couple of days - I’m not sure yet. It seems a shame being only an hour away, and having a fair bit of spare time, not to go, and see the place I lived for 2 years. 2 years is such a short period of time, in some regards, but it was a very important 2 years - a lot more influential than the mere time frame.
It was a relatively short driving day - only about 7 hours on the road from Grand Island, Nebraska. But it was our fourth day in a row driving, and I’m pretty worn out at this point. And I can really feel the altitude. We’ll be here for at least 2 nights, possibly three. I intend to get a lot of resting, reading, and relaxing done. Maybe even some blogging, too.
