Hello! I’m writing to you from Boulder, Colorado. My first time here, and it has been absolutely incredible! I’ll make a post about Boulder soon, but meanwhile, I’ve been having such an amazing time that I realized I hadn’t yet posted about my breathtaking train ride from Truckee to Denver, nor a few scenic shots from my two days so far in Denver. (I’ll have one more day there tomorrow, before I depart on the train for Illinois.)
So, here is a brief photo essay of that train trip. We went through Nevada, Utah, and the Colorado Rockies. I had some great conversations, as usual, in the lounge and dining car, while watching the natural wonders go by.
In Denver, I spent two nights with wonderful Servas hosts Kellie and John, who live in a cohousing community called Hearthstone. I got to meet a number of their neighbors—human, feline, and canine—and even got to attend one of their regular community meals in the common house.
I had a bit of drama when I dropped my phone and shattered the screen on my way to their place (oof! $150 and some stress as I feared the phone’s “guts” might have been affected too) but was able to get a speedy repair just a block away from the beautiful Sloan Lake Park, so while I waited that hour, I pedaled around the park and rested on some scenic benches. Here are some of the photos I took on my second lap, after retrieving the repaired phone.
Although I seem to have missed the seasonal window for aspens (so glad I got that chance in Lake Tahoe!) Denver did not disappoint with many glorious yellow trees. Here is one of the best.
While in Denver I got a chance to meet up with my friend Ron for lunch at longstanding vegetarian spot City O’ City, and afterward, on my way to Union Station to catch my bus to Boulder, I got to experience the beautiful bike paths along the river, with gorgeous color and light bursting forth from underpass after underpass. I’ve been so blessed with beautiful weather here in Colorado.
Stay tuned for Boulder pics!
