Colorado Visit

Enjoyed a weekend in Boulder, Colorado visiting my good friend, Kevin, from Wheaton who is studying applied geophysics in a graduate program at CU.

We were both a part of Honduras Project for two years during our undergrad, so it was fun to reminisce about those days and also talk a bit about my upcoming departure for Honduras.

I really enjoyed the fun downtown area, the beautiful mountains and the active community of Boulder. Other highlights of the trip include eating a delicious dinner of pumpkin soup baked right inside of a real pumpkin at the home of some Wheaton alums who live a block away from Kevin (which also involved a couple serious rounds of Rummikub!), hiking in the mountains nearby/geological field trips, visiting with my cousins Reuben and Rachel, and eating authentic Venezuelan food. It was a relaxing trip and also a nice break from the flat scenery of Illinois!
