1. Colorado has yellow stop lights that flash. What is that about?? I learned that it means you need to yield.
2. People stop before they merge into a freeway/highway.
3. No In-N-Out
4. People don't wear shoes...in public. Grown adults. Come on people, even Jesus wore Birkenstocks! :)
5. Snow*
6. They have the Broncos.
7. Air is ridiculously d-r-y. Like my dream is to lay in a bath of lotion and dry off with a lotion towel.
8. The smell of patchouli is everywhere. It smells like dirt, weed and feet. Yuck.
9. It doesn't cover for my crazy.
*About 3 times a week, I swear the Earth moves. Where in California I just say, "Earthquake." Here I have no excuse. It must be the shakes.*
Before angry people not wearing shoes throw organic beef at my front door this is what I enjoy about Colorado:
1. Snow*
2. The mountain towns are awesome and all have a different, and weird quirky thing about them. Example: Nederland has a weekend festival called "Dead Guy Days." Yup. They haul out a dude who has been cryogenically frozen and have a twisted version of Halloween in March.
Peace, Love and California ==> Which reminds me! Look what I just bought off of Etsy! I'm super pumped about it. Shocker...she is from California.
(Allow me to try this one more time)
Peace, Love and SoCal
I could be TOTALLY wrong on this, since I'm not even there yet, but is the no shoe thing only in Boulder? I heard it was the Berkeley of CO. I was told (by my instructors) that most Californians think they're God's gift to CO...I hope I don't miss CA too much :( BTW, I love the Etsy purchase...and I love Etsy. :)
ReplyDeleteIt TOTALLY is the berkely of Colorado! and it is the only place where people don't wear shoes, but still have brand new Ibooks...ridiculous...
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Berkeley, but I assume it is. When we go out to Denver, it feels normal. I'm just stuck in the Boulder bubble 98% of my time. So I get fed up with it. I totally see that Californians think they're God's gift to CO, cause we are! j/k (sorta). Colorado is nice and it can be fun, it is just super different. I like the busyness of California and the weird/fun people and friends. Plus, I want to be closer to my nephews :)
