Texas

Well, not in Texas anymore. I know this because I do not see the state of Texas all over every single thing that I see. (or a giant star, or flag).

Yesterday brought us to New Mexico, where the scenery was just beautiful and driving through the middle of nowhere was amazing. We were on our way to go have dinner with Amanda Bouldin (my old roommate and friend), and we ended up on a road that closed, in the middle of nowhere, New Mexico. Suicidal jack rabbits and birds jutted out in front of our car continuously. But alas, we found our way, and got Chinese at a place called Yu Garden in a town called Angel Fire. The canyon drive was fun and beautiful. Then we dropped her back off at Philmont, the boyscott ranch she worked, and continued on the road again.

Heather and I had changed our plans earlier that day to go see her friends in Colorado, A) because I have never been to the CO and wanted to go B) because since she was lasered we really couldn't hike the Grande Canyon now, so we figured we would do that sometime in the future. Upon entering "Colorful Colorado" we saw signs of all sorts, including bear crossing signs. Scary! They really should have been chair crossing sings, however, as we hit a chair that was sprawled all across the road. It only slightly damaged my front bumper(aesthetics), thank goodness.

We arrived at her friend's place in Ft. Collins late. Now we are going to go explore Denver and go to an aquarium that has tigers apparently. Good stuff. I will keep you posted on our Colorado adventures. :-)
