The drive from Estes Park to boulder took about an hour. About 30 minutes from Boulder we started noticing bicycle riders along the highway, that along with the landscape reminded me of Tuscany.

Jimbo and a Nikki lived in a cottage style house they rented from the owners who also lived on the same property. It was 2 bedrooms with a large kitchen and good sized living room. The bedrooms shared a shower and had their own sink and toilet. All the rooms, bedrooms, living room and kitchen exited out into a covered porch, which was also used as a green house. Jimbo had a 12 year old female pointer, who was very friendly and whined a lot for mostly no reason. The living room had a wood/gas burning stove.

We headed to downtown Boulder for dinner on Pearl St., to a micro-brewery that served some delicious burgers, with choices made of beef, elk and moose.

I had to blow my nose a lot at this point, which I believe was from the change if weather and my body getting accustomed to it. By the next day I was fine.

The place was very crowded and we waited about 30 minutes to be seated. During this time they brought us out some free drinks, nachos and bean dip.

Once seated, I ordered a buffalo blue cheese and basil burger and a pint of chocolate stout beer.

After dinner we walked around Pearl street and went back to their home to sleep.
