The October Surprise

Does anyone else get restless when they haven't traveled in a while? Wanderlust I guess it's called. I get an itch if I haven't gone anywhere in a couple of months, even if only for a weekend. October seemed an appropriate time, otherwise, I'd have to wait until at least November and travel with everyone and his mother trying to be with family for the holiday. 

I was chatting with a friend in Colorado and it worked out to pay a weekend visit. Greeley, Colorado here I come!

We took a day trip to Boulder, pause: if you're in the market for herbs (aromatherapy, tea blends, essential oils and such) Rebecca of Rebecca's Herbal Apothecary & Supply is good peoples. She knew my friend so we took a tour of the place. Very cool. And she signs. Unpause: spent the night in Denver and had breakfast in Golden. 

While in Denver, we attended an anniversary party at the Mercury Cafe and did some swing dancing! I was reminded how much I miss partner dancing. I probably went once or twice a week, every week, for 3-4 years or so. Even when student teaching in different states I found a place to go. But since the move to Atlanta I may have gone two dozen times and I'm closing in on 6 years here. The schedule is different, the vibe feels different...but, I need to get back into it. 

I need to add a tab for writing that goes further than my travels and when I do, maybe I'll revisit Colorado, but I'll definitely revisit Colorado! Boulder was awesome, I wouldn't mind spending more time there, and I owe a couple of dances at Mercury!
