This was one of the most fun trips I've taken. My former exchange student from Berlin (he lived with us ten years ago) graduated from Colorado Mesa University, in 3 years, after having a career as a pro cyclist, as well as starting a successful coaching business. Oh, and he was also the coach of the cycling team. He's going back to Berlin for a year or two to work on his business and he also has a contract to ride for a pro team. Then it's back here for grad school.

You were so close to me! I live just a few blocks from the college. I graduated from there in 2009. I am also originally from Massachusetts.

Very pretty, Crankin. We flew through Grand Junction a couple of weeks ago for our Moab trip. We went to a really great cafe in downtown Grand Junction for lunch, although I can't remember the name. It looked like a cute area.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Very nice pictures Crankin, and glad you had a good time! I've been in Grand Junction, but it's been so long that I couldn't even swear to the year. It was back in my young/wild days (as opposed to my old/wildish days) so it's been awhile
You look great and it looks like the weather cooperated!
