Yesterday we hiked up what I think was Green Mountain on a trail called something Canyon and then kept forking until we were on a Flagstaff trail and eventually made it back to the park.Here is a photo of me definitely not posing on I think Green Mountain. Later in the afternoon we walked along Pearl St and picked up some cool handmade trinkets and cool gifts. We ended the day at the Leanin' Tree Museum which was really cool.
This morning we had a wet and muddy hike through Sanitas, following Red Rocks, Sanitas, and Sunshine Canyon trails. We're going to check out the arboretum later today and that will likely conclude our trip. It's really a beautiful city with a completely different and awesome culture than I'm used to.

It wasn't that bad. The mountains actually looked pretty neat covered in clouds/fog.
Are you in Boulder? I want to pick up some more locally made things (inexpensive jewelry or small items) as gifts. Do you know any places? I was at the Art gallery on Pearl St and one other place there the information desk told me about it but they didn't have quite what I was looking for.

I'm in Boston right now, unfortunately. But I can try to recall if there was any place selling what you're thinking of!

I am, actually. I also buy all my jewelry at Macy's, exclusively the fake stuff. :-(
Sadly, you missed a crafts fair on the 29th Street Mall, which I assume was just for the weekend which probably had what you were looking for. The prices were still enough to give me sticker shock, though my friend managed to spend <$60 on three sets of earrings, which wasn't so bad.

On Sunday I went to an outdoor market on Pearl Street where everyone set up tents in front of the stores to sell stuff. I'm not sure if that's a weekend thing or a fair, but I only picked up a few things and figured I'd do the rest of my shopping the following day, not thinking about the fact that those events usually only last the weekend :-/ I got what I needed at the B&M stores but it wasn't the same as buying from the locals that made it.

I've been looking at Facebook pictures of snow in the Springs and reading the lamentations of friends and family there with great amusement.

To current and past Boulderites and future Boulder visitors, check out the Boulder Arts & Crafts Gallery on Pearl Street. I called them and ordered some stuff after I gave out as gifts more of the things I bought from them than I originally intended to and their staff is the bomb.
