Boulder, Colorado 1

Hi everyone,

As you know, I went to Colorado on Thursday and I found it a very pretty place to live, especially in Boulder. The city is surrouded by big and high moutains. The weather when I was there was very beautiful. Boulder is pretty dry and high up. And it was clear, I mean I didn't realise how hazy it is in the Bay Area until I saw Boulder. On the first day I was there which was Friday I did a lot of hiking. ( I got there on Thursday evening so all I could do that night was going to a Thai restaurant in town so I don't count it as a day.) We went to a tea fatory called Celestial Seasonings. There was a tour that we can see the production of the tea. And here are some pictures from a mountain and the tea factory. I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside.

I am not a big fan of tea but I was enjoying myself trying some sample and taking the tour. We got to be in a room where the mint is stored, oh my god, I will never forget that moment. It was very strong until you feel like you were soaking in the mint and it makes my eye watered. I love that room. The tour guide said if they leave that room open the whole area in miles radius will smell the mint. After that again I took another hike on the same range of mountain but different area. This time we could really the city of Boulder.

It rained the day before I got there but after that it was beautiful. I was so lucky to have the sun for the whole trip. But too bad that it wasn't snowing even though it snow two days before I got there. And also the weather forecast said this morning that it's going to be snowing later in this week. But I have to come back here. It was amazing how the flowers are still there in late summer and they still look in a good shape. Here in Berkeley the flowersand grass up Berkeley hills died months ago. In boulder, it rains all year long so the grass don die becuase of droughts but its own lifetime. I did see some deer when we were hiking close to the place where my boyfriend had a meeting. They were feeding themselves. Denver International Airport is something. I haven't seen any airport having that kind of roof before. The roof is like tent. It's nice to look at.
