Colorado
For the past week I've been living in a rectangle.
Colorado's shape doesn't differ drastically from the frame of this picture. They had warm, dry weather and the sun really saturated colors. Seattle's wet, West Cork's wet and I realize I like it that way. Someone said Boulder has 330 or so sunny days a year. Not a lot of variety, that.
I saw a lot of Boulder people whiz by on their skinny-framed bikes. Might be why my one souvenir is a pink biking shirt. It's made of some material that supposedly keeps you cool. Right-o.
So, climbing up from Denver airport on a public bus, I got a quick whiff of the thinner air.
"Drink water," people said.
"I'll be grand," I said.
Wrong. I don't think I ever got over altitude sickness. Glad to be grounded again in Seattle, I love sea level.
