Boulder II.

11-6-22 BOULDER, CO: We started the day at Lucille’s, a Creole breakfast place that Jon found, and then Eoin drove us to the UC campus. We walked around most of the morning and saw lots of sandstone buildings and the stadium where the Buffalos play, that seats 50,000. The campus is home to 30,000 plus students. We saw a lot of it, and I feel like an honorary Buff. The flatirons are visible from most of the campus. 


We spent the late afternoon in the hotel lobby with Jon. He left for the airport with Eoin driving at about six. We want to dinner, and then I updated the blog. 


The problem I had was that the computer couldn’t get hotel WiFi, so I couldn’t do the posts while in Boulder from the hotel. It turned out, after a few hours on the phone with Apple back in NJ, that the software needed a few tweaks.


Incidentally, we flew back in a United 787 Polaris, in the front of the plane. The seats can fold down flat into a bed, and each passenger is in their own nest—very nice.

The University of Colorado at Boulder. Lots of sandstone buildings and the flatirons to the west.
UCB, I think this is the library.
UCB, it was pretty windy.
We saw more birds. This Swainson's hawk...
This red-tailed hawk....
And these Canada geese.
