Last Week In The Mountains

I will no longer face the temptation of picking the Columbine flower, subject to a hefty fine. I just spent my last week in Colorado. My next blog entries will most likely not have the following headlines:

KAYAKING


I kayaked the Colorado River with some amazing international law women neophyte boaters, which included losing the purple boat down river for 30 min's, after a rocky flip, & thankfully rescuing it.

GARDEN OF THE GODS


I visited Garden of the Gods & couldn't remember how they were formed, even though Jane has told me 18x.


ROYAL GORGE


I rode the sky-tram at The Royal Gorge, mainly b/c when I was studying law & thinking of other fun things I could be doing, I often thought, "Why is it I never drive down to RG & ride the cable-car-sky-ride thing?" So I did.


WESTERN SHOOT-OUT


I saw a Western mock shoot out, which was inane, so we left early.

CANDY SUSHI


I did make the candy sushi, like I promised.

WOODEN RACQUET TENNIS TOURNAMENT


Annual tradition.

Quarter-finalists!

GOING-AWAY PARTY


I was in total denial that I was leaving, but other ppl showed up believing it was true. It was.

No one in DC will be my long-time-friend & almost have my same name (like Kelly Trotter, center)!


Jane & Hayes coincidentally wore the same brown plaid Western shirt with gold thread, which made my last day in Denver the greatest ever.

Bryony, Dana & I spent the last 2 weeks adventuring through a 100 hours of political and/or outdoorsy Colorado activities. Too bad my Colorado pre-work vacation is over.

Chris & Sean both wore sweaters, which for some reason I found rlly enjoyable. Look, we are doing something besides studying.


Thanks to Eric & Meredith for planning the party, buying me a cake, streamers, beer, & food...& for a very nice speech. Totally unexpected & very meaningful night!

I'll mention again that Jane & Hayes wore the same shirt! Will ppl in DC do that for me?
