I spent most of August in Hawaii and Colorado. Now that I'm back in Santa Barbara, looking at photos, I am in awe thinking about the variety of breathtaking scenery I saw during the 18 days I was traveling.
I spent a few days on the Big Island. I appreciate more and more how special the area up there at Volcano is. I enjoyed seeing my friend Heather and her eight month old son, who looks very different than he did at three weeks! And as always, I indulged in delicious local food, such as Kozo Sushi, Yummy's Korean bbq, and various and assorted plate lunches.
I spent just one night with my old roommate, Shannon, in L.A., before taking off for Colorado. I went a few days before my parents and sister did, to spend a few nights with a college friend, Nichole. She picked me up from Denver airport, showed me money trees, eggshell art, and durian, and then drove us to Aspen, stopping at the Continental Divide along Independence Pass. Aspen is a very cute town, but my family really enjoyed the charm and "happy air" of Breckenridge, Colorado. We went horseback riding in Keystone, where we stayed most of the days, river rafting in Frisco, eating/hiking in Breckenridge, shopping and pilates in Boulder, and a lot of driving around Denver. Saw a lot of the state but there is surely much more to see...it's a bit larger than Hawaii is.
As the durian fruit "smells like hell and tastes like heaven", the fresh blackberries and raspberries remain my personal favorites.
