The Voyage of the Cacafuego

a trip across america, summer 2008

August 7 – UC in Boulder, and Kansas!

Sarah had this day booked for college visited. We visited University of Colorado in Boulder!

(I sat in a coffee shop and blogged for HOURS. I frequently look like this, too.)

Then we had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, where we’d tried to go the night before.

Then we all piled back in the van and left town. Here’s a terrible picture of Boulder:

And I finished my second pair of socks! Woo hoo!

And then we entered Kansas.

Kansas was pretty nice! Not as flat as we all expected (but still flat). Rather pretty. Nice weather. Big sky.

Although, give me one good reason these clouds are so freaking low. What the heck?!

Kansas has corn.

And silos.

In the evening, we found a place to camp (sexy, I know),

and watched the shadows get longer and longer as the sun set.

Very pretty.
