Today was a pretty packed day for a day off. We woke up in the morning and had a sponsored breakfast at the Original Pancake House. The portions were huge, and the food was great. It was the first time I had ever had pumpkin pancakes, so that was pretty neat. The meal was sponsored by a guy who worked for Case Logic, which used to be a sponsor of the Journey of Hope.
After breakfast we went over to the local Conoco station to buy some tubes for floating down Boulder Creek. That was a huge mistake. Apparently, a damn had just been opened up to drain a reservoir a bit, and the creek was moving way too fast. It was scary as can be, and after almost drowning twice got the heck out of the coldest creek I had ever been into.
Most of the team just walked along the creek to Big City Burrito where we were having lunch. Lunch was sponsored by Josh, who rode the north route in 06. It was pretty good, but I was getting a little stressed out not having showered or anything all day, and I was happy to be able to go back to the Pi Kapp house and shower after lunch.
After showering, we had about two hours before a friendship visit. I just took a nap, but some of the guys went out and got hair cuts. The friendship visit was at a park outside of Boulder. We had another BBQ and played some beach volleyball with a couple of guys with developmental disabilities. It was fun.
At night, Matt, Dan, and I walked around Pearl Street and saw what local Boulder had to offer. Boulder has a reputation of being full of hippies, and Pearl Street was somewhat of a showcase for this. We did see a guy playing the didgeridoo and the drums. He was awesome.
