Day off #1.
I have the next two days off and then we have a staff retreat to a theme park on Thursday.
Today, Alyse, Casey, Grace, Andrew and I went to Idaho Springs for our day off.
Idaho Springs is a small town. I talked to a local, and apparently it is tradition for skiers headed to Winter Park to stop at Beujo's Pizza Place before and eat--it's famous for its "Colorado Style Pizza."
Anyways, it's a one street town, but filled with history and old buildings. I can picture the cowboys walking down that street many years ago.
We ate at a deli and came across some interesting people. I met a man from Czech Slovakia, Polly, but he has been in Colorado "before I was even born." He asked me to take a picture of him and his friend, Doc. Polly said he was going to Miami after New Years and he will take me out to dinner. Nice man--but I know the rules. Don't talk to strangers.
I still talked to Polly. There is something about becoming friends with the locals. That's the only way I will become a local. Right?

Casey and I walked around for a bit and window shopped. I love window shopping with Casey.
A little fact about Casey. She always is smiling. She loves the phrase "Oh my Gosh!" And says it before she says anything. She is excited about life. She is such a fun person to go shopping because she is one of those people that loves to try new things. For example, she bought a chocolate that had spices and chilly at the candy store. Oh, and she illustrates her own greeting cards.
That's Casey.
After, we met up with the other interns at the coffee shop and we all read and wrote letters for a while.
We then came home, ate, and now we are downstairs either on the computer or playing cards.
Jenna went to Colorado Springs for the day and night. I miss her.
I also miss my friends from home and Gainesville. Come visit me?
Or Maybe if someone wants to take a roadtrip to Colorado you can use my car. I need my car.
I can't wait to come visit you! I'm still planning on it! Is your car in Miami? How's January look for you?
ReplyDeletei think i will come to colorado in your car. just tell me when.
ReplyDeletedo it guysss seriously!! january is busy cause all the ski trips but everymonth is going to be pretty busy anyway. there is a college ski weekend in january...check it out!
ReplyDeleteok, this is Gabers Mom, and the car is here in Miami. I would love to plan a road trip with anyone of her friends to visit. tell me when and where to pick you up. I pay the expenses and your trip back home. You help with driving.

Hi Gabeta. Is Polly in his 80's? He looks kind of old. Ha ha ha! Casey is very cute. I see that Mom is offering to pay all of the expenses and the return trip by plane including her fare to everyone who wants to drive with her in your car to Colorado. She will have 2 or 3 or even perhaps 4 passengers. She will do it now that her car is in good shape and she can start using it again after I spent over $800 in body work and paint and $1,200 in repairs for a $2,000. She has been using your car everyday. I think she kind of likes it.
ReplyDeleteno dont worry guys. i dont need my car...you guys are going overboard...with everything. lets take it back a notch.
ReplyDeletewhen i say you guys..i mean my parents.
