Day 39, Monday July 1st:
Ravi and Jeremy woke up early and made appointments for
Acupuncture Therapy after what has been a long, physically exhausting,
trip. This was a unique experience for
them both and enjoyable. In the end they
weren’t sure if this helped their
ailments at all… but maybe they will feel it in the future.
Keith went searching for a local coffee shop to go through more pictures and found an absolute gem of a shop! Coffee shops are special in Boulder and this one lived up to the hype. It was very classy with a coffee bar that also served alcohol, and two floors with a patio that had very comfortable seating. After lunch Ravi and Jeremy met up with Keith and it was time to explore the city. They grabbed blizzards at the nearby DQ and started walking towards the Pearl Street Mall. Along the way they passed through some nice residential neighborhoods, the east campus of University of Colorado, Boulder Creek, and Carpenter Park. At Pearl Street Mall we saw some very cool and unique stores. Some were filled with art, others with candy, and some for the consumption and production of marijuana. While walking around Jeremy became star struck when he saw Steve Hytner (Kenny Bania from Seinfeld). Luckily shy Jeremy is friends with brazen and socially capable Keith who immediately introduced the two and negotiated a quick photo shoot for the pair!
Shortly following this star studded moment, Keith found himself examining what was either a street performer or a statue…. Turns out it was DEFINITELY a street performer who unfroze from her unbelievably still pose when Jeremy deposited a dollar in her street performer receptacle. Keith immediately handed the camera off to Jeremy and grabbed a quick photo with this gifted artist!
After seeing all the shops and checking out more of the street performances, we caught a Prius cab back to the hotel for some time in the hot tub. The hot tub which Ravi was down right giddy about being able to enjoy turned out to be a huge disappointment… No heat and no bubbles left Ravi feeling like this…
Given the long day of travel we would have the next day as we head to Chicago, we decided to go out for dinner and a movie (man date) before calling it a night. We saw White House Down which is a fantastic movie that all must see. Not a joke.
