City girl. Traveling soul. Always hungry.
We checked out early and left little Panguitch after spending a few minutes blow-drying our sneakers from our river-walking the day before. We headed for Bryce Canyon, where we took the main scenic drive through the park and stopped at various overlooks. The park reminded me a lot of the Grand Canyon but, dare I... Continue Reading →
The next day we made our way to Zion National Park, which the ranger at the Rocky Mountains said reminded him a lot of Jurassic Park. We decided to make a quick stop at a Walmart to try to pick up some cheap tank tops, as we didn’t pack properly for the desert heat we... Continue Reading →
We stayed in Moab due to its close proximity to Arches National Park, where we set off to early the next morning. I must note that one of my first random observations about Utah is the abundance of deep dips in the pavement at entrances to stores etc and where two streets meet. I know... Continue Reading →
Rolled into Telluride, CO as evening hit, a few hours later than anticipated when we mixed up the travel time in our heads and the drive from Crested Butte was 3 hours vs. the 1 that we thought it was. We decided to visit the town because it’s part of a Tim Mcgraw song and... Continue Reading →
We made it into Aspen by the evening and walked into town for some quick Japanese food. I was still surprisingly full from my BBQ glory earlier that day, so I settled on teriyaki salmon skewers, miso soup and fried banana-coconut springs rolls for dessert (ok, so it wasn’t that much less food than normal)....

We awoke early the next day and wandered down Main Street in Steamboat Springs for coffee and a quick exploration through a local store that had wall-to-wall cowboy boots (we purchased flip flops). After, we headed off to our first activity, swimming in hot springs in Strawberry Park, CO which was just a few miles... Continue Reading →
Leaving the Denver and Boulder area brought about a familiar comfort at the sight of our first endless open highway and secluded scenery. I remember this feeling so clearly from our first trip, how free I felt each and every time we were on that open road with nothing in sight and nothing to restrict... Continue Reading →
After booking our first night’s lodging at around 10pm on Friday night, we rose at 5am on Saturday and tumbled out the door, praying we had not forgotten anything, as we packed in a hurry as always (tradition…). A short flight later and we had landed in Denver, CO, having gained two hours and therefore... Continue Reading →
It’s amazing how busy one can still feel after completing the so-called *only* thing keeping one busy for months on end (searching for a new job). I guess that all my other ideas/plans/goings-on were waiting anxiously in the back of my conscious for the right moment to surface and feel noticed. It’s been nice to... Continue Reading →
It’s been a few weeks since I wrote last, as I had to give myself a grace period with which to focus on everything else that was occupying my brain for the past few weeks. My dinners ranged in complexity from this: To this: Needless to say, when I am all over the place, my... Continue Reading →
