Telluride

We just got back from a trip to Telluride to see Bob Dylan and My Morning Jacket. The show was great - we got to sit in the front row (the handicapped section) and we had a great view of Bob and his band. The music was great - he played a lot of classics - the opener of My Morning Jacket was an odd combination - but I guess it worked. I like them both so it was great for me.

Telluride is a great little ski town - probably twice the size of Crested Butte. Liz's friend and soon to be bridesmaid - Maria and her boyfriend Tim live there. Tim is a pilot so we had endless conversation about that whilst the girls had girl talk.

We drove to the top of Bridal Veil falls - which were gorgeous. We then rode the Gondola which is free and runs all day and most of the night as public transportation - which means you can ride up with your bike for free... sick. The skiing looks like a lot of fun - bigger resort than Crested Butte. On the Gondola ride we saw a deer and a black bear... which was fun.

They had Segway tours which would've been fun - instead we just tried them out. It was a blast. Here's an animated gif of Liz on the segway. I want to buy one...

Instead we bought Liz a little Mini-Martin left handed guitar that fits her a bit better than her current one - which will give her something else to do while she sits around for another 4 weeks... the Dr's report on Friday was good - but she has to keep the boot for another 2 weeks. Everything appears to be healing well and the doc thinks she'll be back riding horses towards the middle of August.

I'll upload photos from the trip here soon - it was a fun weekend get away. I'm off to Alpenglow.
