This week has put me in St. Louis. I'm surprised that both myself and my luggage arrived together. Carlsbad was having major rain and I had to slosh through floods at the airport. I don't think my pants dried until Denver. The luggage is still somewhat damp. At each connection I had just enough time to go from one gate to the next but that's better than missing the connection.

As soon as I left the metro, I was accosted by a crazy man telling me to give up all possessions for lent. (This as he told me to eat well for Fat Tuesday) It's hard to sprint with large luggage but I did my best!

It's sunny and clear so at least I can enjoy the week.

Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
