Sarah came to visit last Wednesday for a few days, leaving on Sunday evening. Neither one of us accomplished what we needed to, but spending time together was worth it. Basically we did a whole lot of nothing. On Thursday after my history class we went and had Sherpa's for lunch, I got a haircut, and we met up with some of the other Classics grad students for drinks at HalfFast. After a few hours there chatting we ate dinner at the Southern Sun. On Friday I had to work from 10 to 3, which allowed us both to work a bit. We went out to Skinny J's with Dragos and Kristen for dinner and played some pool before going back to his apartment and playing this strange board game whose name escapes me at the moment. Saturday we slept in late and then drove up to Nederland and had the lunch buffet at Kathmandu, which was excellent. They had this jalapeno & cabbage dish as well as one involving lots of okra. My mouth waters even now thinking about it. After lunch we drove around in the mountains some more, ending up over at Estes Park, which is absolutely gorgeous. It seems to be nestled in a valley-plain up in the mountains and would not be a bad place to live. It's only about 50 miles from Boulder, actually, nearly the same distance as Denver International Airport is from Boulder. When we got back into town that afternoon/early evening we went up to the humanities building on campus and spent some time reading. Later we ate dinner at Whole Foods; they have a great salad bar. We tried finding a Jason's Deli in Boulder (there isn't one) and ended up being directed to "Asian Deli" by Free411. We stopped back by the university and played some pool and bowled a few games before going back home for the night. We slept in late on Sunday again before going over to Foolish Craig's for some awesome crepes. Her flight left at 7:10 last night, so we left my place around 4:45 and stopped at Pei-Wei in Broomfield along the way. We just barely managed to get our food in time since the people working proved themselves rather incompetent. Thankfully we got there in plenty of time and ate dinner inside the airport together before she left. They were a good few days.
