Nevada

Oh hai! So, we are now driving in nevada. But I will backtrack to three days ago when we last updated.
The Kirkland museum was cool, it was a building full of his work and the work of Colorado artists and many many pieces of modern design, bringing me back to my history of modern design class in college.... Anyway, the building was also where he made his work and part of his abstract painting process included lying across straps hanging from the ceiling, painting aerially. After the museum, we walked into downtown Denver to check out one of Louise bourgeois' spider. Unfortunately, it had been moved a couple months ago, but we did see an awesome claus oldenberg. It was a massive dust pan and sweeping broom outside the Denver art museum. Yoga was awesome, I think it definitely made a difference for driving the following day. That night we went out for dinner and our waiter made us laugh, unintentionally. Everytime he walked by our table, the earth would shake from his steps. Not because he was heavy but he was running like a MADMAN. he must be pooped after a night's work.
The following morning we hit the road again and stopped in the cute ski town of breckenridge, co for breakfast. We spent the late morning driving through the rockies...sylvia (my car) did a very good job with pushing up those mountains. We entered Utah in the mid afternoon just as the sky started to cloud up. OMG Utah is a beAutiful and breathtaking place, geographically speaking. We set up camp at north campground at Bryce canyon and spent a cool and slightly rainy night on what felt like the top of a mountain (I think it was...)
The next morning we took a hike first along the rim of the canyon, overlooking orAnge rock formations known as 'hoodoos'. We then descended into the canyon (about .5 mi). Most of the people there were speaking German, French, or Italian, which wasn't too surprising as it was the tenth year since sept 11 and I assume many Americans were at home on this day. It was funny to see the Europeans in what they thought would be appropriate hiking gear, including blazers, flats, waistbelts, cute sneaks and manpris (unacceptable for any occasion.) the hike back up to the rim was a great workout. Then we left for Zion national park!
We had bLTs with guac at a little restaurant where there was one young man (age 19?) serving the role of waiter, host, and busboy for 10+ tables. We felt bad for him because some individuals were being crabby and unempathetic. Also, a cowboy came in. He ate from the salad bar.
OK, I will have to update again a little later. Happy Monday!
