Road Trip: Omaha, Denver
22 September, 2010
I’m taking a long stop in Denver, Colorado and staying for about a week. Originally I was thinking of leaving today, but I decided to stay through Friday night so that I could go to a Rockies game (hopefully) and to a concert with Nilanjana.
But before I came to Denver, I stopped in Omaha, Nebraska for a night and had my first solo couchsurfing experience. I had such a blast! Omaha is a cool town, and I wish I would have spent another day there, but I decided to keep moving and to try to make it to Denver while there was still some weekend left to enjoy.
On my way to Nebraska, I passed through Iowa and completely geeked out about windmill farms. They are so huge! And graceful and kind of beautiful! I guess I just get obnoxiously excited about strange things: goats, a good pun, Harry Potter, windmills…
Tomorrow I’m going to make a day trip down to Colorado Springs to see Garden of the Gods, and then hopefully Friday I can go to the baseball game. Then I’m off to Jackson, WY on Saturday!
Lots of love and I’ll update again as soon as I can!
