With over 18 inches of snow outside, from the recent storm that crested last Friday, Boulder, was, as ever, always too pretty to leave. Enough time had passed such that the roads were very clear and we hoped that the backlog at Denver airport to have also cleared. It had. Travel was rather uneventful, just long. I was glad to have Stephen Ambrose’s Undaunted Courage, a book abut Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis & Clark fame, tucked away in my hand luggage, keeping me & hubby company on a series of three bus, three airplane journeys to go south, the most south this Kimberly has been on this planet.
