The Actual Day 22

Yesterday was day 21, I wrote the post after midnight so I mixed it up I guess.

Today we woke up around 11, which was much needed due to two days in a row with drives over 7 hours long. I had a king sized bed and room all to myself. Our host has a fairly large house with a few roommates. From what I know, they all attend the University here.

We started the day off with Pearl Street. It is an outdoor mall strip with plenty of street performers and interesting shops. We ate at Illegal Petes, a Mexican place with some pretty huge burritos for a cheap price. After that Dan got a haircut at some barbershop that gives you a neck massage after your haircut. Pretty nifty.

It began too cool off a bit so we decided to hit up one of the hiking trails in Boulder. It provided some pretty good views of the city, and basically just kept climbing up a mountain just outside of the city border. We ended up turning around at one point after discovering that the trail continues up to the mountain peak. If I'm ever in Boulder again I definitely want to reach the top.

Tonight we are going to head out to a bar where a string band will be performing. They also brew several beers that have won gold medals at the largest beer festival in the world. I'll let you know how the Belgian Chocolate Stout is.

Tomorrow we'll be heading for Omaha Nebraska. According to the weather report, it is going to be stormy and windy, so we are going to have to wake up fairly early. If we stay in Boulder another night we'll end up being hit by a snowstorm.
