It is day 8 of my trip to CO. Will be heading back to NY in just two days and I am a little reluctant to leave Denver. It's an unusual place, with its extremely normal people and neighborhoods, where everyone smiles and Starbucks is still on every corner.

I logged over 1000 miles in less than 7 days. woooooo! a small stepping stone warmup to the beginning of my cross country road trip plans
