Alzheimer's insidiously, day by day, little by little takes your life away.  Everything you have done, built up and accumulated through the years are slowly eroded into oblivion. All the experiences, all the love, the memories and smiles and accomplishments washed away into a big vast emptiness. What are we but our memories. To see this process happen to a loved one is horrifying. There is nothing to do but offer support and love and unfortunately a sternness and guidance. Alzh...

Tuesday was THE DAY to climb up the mountains and visit Boulder.  We took the bus to the AVIS rental car, got maps and headed up north.  AVIS was suppose to give us an economy car but but we got a white Honda Coupe instead - a much faster car & got the low rate as well. Our ears were popping during the ride.  The landscape is still filled with snow and green trees.  Which reminded me of Vermont during the winter.  Kyrstal decided that we should visit Nederland to...

just put us on a plane or a mountain (just don't put the plane into the mountain) and we will be happy!!! this is much more a photo album than an actual blog. those will come soon!

Ever since I was six years old and my father took my family on our first ski trip to Colorado, I have been enamored with the Rocky Mountains, cold weather, snow skiing, and outdoor activities in general. Well, building on this 15 year old borderline obsession of mine, I applied to law school at the University of Colorado - Boulder. When I was accepted, I decided to go visit, despite the possibility of me going being slim to none, at best, because of financial concerns. Needless to say, I took...

We left Annalise's house really early to give us plenty of time to drive to Durango in southwest Colorado because we heard the drive was gorgeous. Thank you to everyone who told us about the drive, it was beyond breathtaking. In the morning I was in a bit of a bad mood, but I cheered up at Monarch Pass which was our first run-in with the continental divide. It felt great to officially be in the West again after about four looong months of East Coast-ing. We rode "gondolas" up to the top of th...

Ok, I am starting this blog in an attempt to justify and properly describe this crazy, multifaceted, beautifully stupid and but always wonderful town that I call home. Tucked under the begging to be climbed Flatirons, Boulder truly is the bubble surrounded by reality. But damn, does this bubble have a great vibe. If you are in Colorado, this town always rates a visit if only to watch the all the crazy people wandering its streets.

These photos were taken on my first visit to the Denver area. I rented a car in Denver and drove north to Boulder and then south to Colorado Springs before returning back to the Denver area.

Visit Builttour.com to check out our (already existing) travel blog! People, places, pics, and stories from around this amazing country.

American canyons and national parks are my next love!

Here's Boulder's website .  No history page, but it does have one.  Unfortunately the town itself isn't as interesting as it used to be.

Today Bryon and I drove 550 miles from Wichita to Boulder, CO to stay at the Pi Kapp house @ University of Colorado- Boulder. The guys there were all cool and very welcoming. The UC Boulder campus is so amazing! It's the most gorgeous college campus I have ever seen! I also saw a picture of Trey Parker and Matt Stone's former dorm (South Park creators)! We had dinner that night with a Pi Alpha from 2002 and my ex-Project Manager from when I cycled in 2003. It was really great seeing him and c...

    Another day has begun. It was a day of driving through Wyoming and into Colorado, our first tap into each state! Come Colorado, Boulder was explored and Green Leaf Restaurant (during the Vegan Happy Hour) was dined by two lovely chickadees! 

Spent 2 weeks in San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, and Boulder,CO area.

I drove with a friend for two months all around the country when I turned 18. We left with about $35.18.

I'm frantically gathering all I need to leave...  I hope the weather in Oslo will be nice when I arrive!
