From Sunday to now

Sunday was a day off for us. Ronen and his father and his father's girlfriend invited me to go along with them to Estes Park which is about 50 miles away and you get there by way of a scenic highway. It was a really gorgeous drive. We stopped at about a million places to take pictures. Speaking of which, I'm currently uploading a whole bunch of pictures that I stole from Ronen because my camera hasn't been working. Some of them are from events that happened earlier this summer but I hope you enjoy. You can check them out at biebs.shutterfly.com

Like I said, we stopped pretty frequently to take pictures along the way so it took us a few hours to get there. Estes Park isn't really anything special but it's the biggest town I've been in since coming to Colorado. Just gift shops and restaurants and stuff. We all had lunch and then shopped for about an hour. We took a cable car up to the top of a mountain where we could see the hotel that they based The Shining off of as well as another beautiful view of the Rockies. Honestly, it wasn't a particularly eventful day but it was really nice of Ronen's father to adopt me for the day.

The days have kind of been meshing together at this point. There was a company horse back riding excursion. We didn't really go anywhere special and it was only an hour long of walking on a peaceful trail through their property, but it was kind of funny seeing a caravan of 20+ people on horses.

I let Putt-Putt buy me ice cream. Also uneventful. I wasn't really feeling very well either so it wasn't a long date or anything. We got ice cream, watched some TV and then he walked me home. Poor guy's tryin, but I'm just not having it. It's all good, he's leaving in two days or something and then I won't have to worry about him anymore.

Yesterday a couple who owns a house on the lake invited the company over for the afternoon to have food and fun. It was incredible. The weather didn't seem very promising but there were many patches of sun throughout the afternoon. In addition to eating my heart out, I went tubing in a tube being pulled by their boat (and fell out) and then got to try wade boarding (and fell off). I still can't get over how kind people are to us out here.

I'm sorry, these things were all probably a bit more exciting than I make it out to be here in this blog, but I've been in a weird place lately. I'm sure it's because we're leaving so soon. There's so much happening in two and a half weeks and at the same time there's very little happening now. I've got a lot going through my mind that if I can sort it out I will be happy to share it with you all. Just things about leaving here and what I'm doing when I get back to Philly and so forth. I'm also going to eventually go through all the other company member's pictures of the summer and steal a bunch so I can share them with you because there are a few good pictures that I don't have.

Again, sorry for the lack of enthusiasm in this post. I have to figure out what to do with the rest of my afternoon. Pool's closed. =(
