Boulder, CO cont.

Next, we went to Pearl street, this is the awesome street with the wide array of food choices, awesome little shops, street musicians, basically the street that every perfect college town has laying behind its campus. Massachusetts street in Lawrence, Kansas and State Street in Madison, Wisconsin are examples. There was a cool restaurant tucked away in a pedestrian zone about half a mile into our walk. We drank our beers on the rooftop patio overlooking the mountains. We spent four hours I'm boulder and in that short amount of time I was convinced that it is bar far one of my favorite college towns. The weather was a beautiful 70 degrees and sunny, I guess they experience an earlier exposure to fall. Driving back into Oklahoma, I had noticed the temperature was roughly identical to what I had become used to while spending a weekend in CO. This surprised and excited me at the same time – I had left OK when temperatures had remained constant for months above 100 degrees. There is hope on the horizon.
