Notes from Colorado

It was fun to visit Colorado, even if we didn't have any plans and actually spent a lot of time just hanging out, recuperating from all the stress of the preceding weeks, dragging breakfast over two hours, doing sudokus etc. Our friends were great and received us well and it was fun being together again with those guys (and girls) from our old workplace.

There was none of the snow I had hoped for, except up in Rocky Mountain Park, but well ...
