Aspen, Colorado
Well, folks.  It has happened.  After 2189 miles on the road, I have arrived in Aspen.  And what a neat place it is.  We drove through mountains and canyons and whatever else they've got here.  This place is amazingly beautiful.  And it's nice weather.  No snow.  Hey, I'm from the east - what do I know?    I do know that I think I'm going to like it here.  I found the place I'm going to work at.  Dude, it's nice.  Yep.  I'm an Aspener.  I live in a condo/apartment/lodge/dorm-type place.  My roommate seems cool.  I am just glad as all heck to be out of my car.  I don't want to sit down for a while.  I hooked my tv up, made my bed, and that's about all I need for now.  I went exploring in Aspen.  Yeah.  It certainly isn't like New York.  We found a grocery store and bought the essentials - Gatorade and Uncrustables.  (I obviously brought my own Oreo's with me.) 

Haha - Look where I live!
