Day 22: Boulder, Colorado

The fruit of Corey's collectionAnother beautiful day in Colorado. We woke up leisurely at the Hanna's in Colorado Springs and held a ROAD SCHOLARS meeting. We decided to forego Four Corners in favor of heading up to Boulder to visit my friend, Corey. The plan was to have dinner and hit the road across the Rockies en route to Las Vegas, NV. We said goodbye to Michelle and her family (including Katie, Brittany, Brittany's friend Tiffany, and Cassie) and drove to Boulder.

Corey, a Cal Poly Alum now working for IBM, gave us a tour of downtown Boulder, where you're either a student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, or a performer in the prestigious "Street Theatre". We were privileged to be entertained by such performers as the man who stuffs himself in a box and the Crazy Unicycle Guy, a.k.a. the Suicyclist. After the "show", we had an excellent Italian dinner at Antica Roma, a little pricey, but well worth the experience.

Feeling stuffed and rather lethargic after dinner, we allowed ourselves to succumb to Corey's offer to crash for the night at his place. So we unrolled our sleeping bags, uncorked a California Syrah from his extensive collection, and settled in for another good nights sleep in Colorado.
