Boulder

We are back home. My travel laptop mysteriously failed on hols, so now I have a zillion fotoes to sort out. To help myself through it, I'm aiming to blog a section of the trip every day or so. I hope this does not overwhelm the long-suffering reader.

We started in Boulder. The advantages of accommodations in the cheap seats are mountain views and relatively delayed sunset.

Devil's Work


Devil's Tower, originally uploaded by julesberry2001.
Animist religions worship everything, but the temple-ish look of this bit of geology makes  it is easy to understand why it is thought special by the American Indians. Curiously, while it was crawling with rock-climbers, not one was to be seen scaling George Washington's brow at Mt Rushmore (see last post). Perhaps the granite of the latter is just too slippery...

Open-door parking

It is the same place as the other pix. Starbucks is on the left. I don't need to ask what kind of car this is, as it was clearly labelled with "E Series Jaguar" on the back.
