We saw snow for the first time in several years on Saturday night. Greg and I went with our parents to Glenwood Springs for the annual Baha'i conference commemorating the visit of Abdu'l-Baha to that place 95 years ago. It's a beautiful drive through Glenwood Canyon, red cliffs are on both sides, and the aspens were turning patches of the mountains gold. We didn't see all that much of the scenery, though, because we left before it was light out and came back after soaking in the hot springs (http://www.hotspringspool.com/pool/) at night. And it began to rain, and then the rain turned into snow. Sunday, we could see snow on the mountains when we looked west from our apartment! It's cooled down a lot where we live, but no snow yet. In fact, the trees near our house haven't even changed. Sunday Greg had ruhi in Lakewood and I drove back up to my parent's house and went for a long trail ride with my mom. It was a beautiful day with intense Colorado blue, cloudless skies and the golden aspens fluttering. I'd forgotten that the trees have a particular smell in the fall, a sweet, tangy smell that just smells like fall!
After I picked Greg up we sat in a park for a while, bought food for the week, and went out for dinner. We were so caught up in getting things done that we completely spaced a very important engagement we'd made. Fortunately, the folks in charge were very understanding and we still got to participate in an interview on our experiences in Indonesia. It's a half-hour interview you can lister to at this address: http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=26038&cmd=tc It's a podcast so you can listen on your ipod. I think it turned out well, though there's a lot we would have liked to add, like talk about bemos, becaks, the different kinds of fruit, the mud volcano... but you know about all that from my blog! Check it out and see what you think!
Look for pictures soon... several people have requested photos of our apartment.
