Colorado

So some things I have learned here about the great state of Colorado:

- The weather is totally and completely erratic. This is the most difficult to get used to (over the dryness and elevation). You must be prepared for everything! It will be warm, cold, windy, and blindingly sunny all with in one hour (this is only a slight exaggeration)

-The clouds are closer here! Really they seem to be much closer to you, it is neat.

- We have been here since Thursday May 25th and only this afternoon have seen our first sight of rain. Bit huge droplets! I wonder when the next time the rain will come. . .

- People are very active! They are gardening and jogging and generally being active outdoors a lot of the time. Have you seen this interactive map of obesity in the US? Check it out. Scroll down a bit and the map is there, you might have to refresh to see the whole time line.
