Boulder is a town on the edge of a massive plan right next to Rocky Mountains (technically it is beside the Colorado front range, but as this is part of the Rockies who’s counting). So it is kinda like Methven back home, if you add a 30,000 person University to it (which currently has about a 55,000 seat stadium for the university sports team, which is a little bit different to winter tournament….)
I went for a walk into hills, and they are quite spectacular, one thing I noticed was the advisory signs at the start of the track (before you read this mum don’t worry I am sure I will be fine) They tell you what to do if you see a rattle snake, a bear or a mountain lion, as I saw plenty of people walking their dogs or playing with their kids I am sure it is simply the authorities being over careful (all the same it does make you a bit more careful when you hear a sound you don’t recognize)
The nature of this town is there is great food, good bear and amazingly for the US even good coffee (only 19 days in I found a good café, that specializes in cupcakes and espresso, and the nice seats and the white stripes on the stereo and I was in haven). I went for dinner at my hotel and the bar here had really good white-man blues being played, I not a major fan of blues but there is something about being here and hearing it in it’s natural environment that makes it really very cool.
