boulder

well, went to boulder yesterday. had lunch with eric and a couple of his co-workers. went to one of the healthiest mexican food places i have ever been to. food was pretty good. they had to go back to work, but i was gonna meet back up with eric after work, so i decided to stick around and see what there was to see in boulder.

short list:
barnes and noble - parousing books (scifi/fantasy and checkin map of city)
whole foods - for those of yall that dont know i am actually starting to eat somewhat healthier.
mont bell - checkin tents and sleeping bags and other stuff cause last camping it was cold at night
rei
chautauqua park
mail stop (or something next to brazillian jujitsu)
i-market (organic food store)

drove by:
pearl street mall
28th mall
university of colorado - boulder

basically what i did today was look at books (scifi/fantasy and checkin map of city),
whole foods - for those of yall that dont know i am actually starting to eat somewhat healthier, so i purchased granola and some breakfast bars,
checkin tents and sleeping bags and other stuff cause last camping it was cold at night.
i then decided i had had enough of shopping for now so i decided to drive down 28th which is similar to broadway for those that know tyler (but cooler here) or the s. hulen, overton ridge area in fort worth.
anyways, the day is absolutely beautiful, the windows are open, the sunroof is bringin the sun, so i drive, and eventually the road turns into 36 which is gonna take me to denver so i ditch it and go to a road called baseline. i thought this could be cool cause the whole town of boulder is at the base of the rockies, so i thought this road would at least get me closer to the mountains.
well, eventually i see a sign for chautauqua park, and think, sweet, a park. figured i could hike and read or so. i did the hiking part but not the reading. the sun started to set, which brought colder temps, but wasnt a problem for the convertible pants. anyway, i make the couple mile hike and get back to the car and decide to see if baseline rd would go further into the mountains. well, the name is true to its word. went up there a lil and figured i could be there all day, which i didnt have much of, so i went back into town to kill a little time afore eating.

absolutely b-e-a-utiful day. being in all those outdoor equipment shops made me want to be there then, but good enough i found that park, great day for the outdoors.
