there ya go. that was our day 35, hope you enjoyed it. so the longer version is...got up and met marte's parents who are super nice and we all enjoyed a great breakfast of eggs, blueberry muffins (my fav), toast, and juice. we then hurried out the door to head to new belgium brewery to try and get in on a tour of their facility. they are a cool super bike friendly and eco-minded company and their tour is pretty sweet so we heard. all of their tours are full till the end of the month but we thought what the heck lets give it a try anyway. so we got there and put our names on the waiting list and perused around checking out their seating area and they have all these cool art pieces that really express who they are as a company and we looked at some of their merchandise. they have post cards that you can write to people and they will mail them off for free! after a couple tours went by we finally got on the list! they take you through the whole production of how they make the beer and the history of the company and how they are helping the community and the earth. super cool stuff! they were just loving that we were on a bike tour across the country and got to chat a lot with the employee guide. after the 90 minute tour we ended by sliding down a slide that is on their second floor to get back to the main floor (much fun). we took off from their and headed to old town ft. collins where we checked out cool bookstores, their indie theater, a burger joint, and just enjoyed a new town. we were both tired of walking and just tired in general since we got up earlier than normal so we found a park bench where i read and evan slept. people were passing by pointing and looking at us like we were homeless or something (a lot of people think we are homeless actually). i dozed off at one point and i'm sure we were a sight to be seen; i know i snapped a pic of evan just when he was waking up and he looked real rough. we then went in search of a restroom and crashed at another park area where we each had our own bench this time and evan sprawled out on his while i read some more. a mom told her two kids to walk way around us and she walked between us as a barrier or something since she thought we were super harmful (evan was comatose and i was reading "stones into schools" the follow up to "3 cups of tea") marte and her two friends met up with us and we hit up another cool bookstore/coffee shop/bike repair place then went and grabbed a table at beau jo's pizza. we enjoyed a tofu pizza, telling stories, and 2 guys in a cap n crunch and trix rabbit costumes. ha! we dropped off one of marte's friends then made our way over to her other friend's house, kody and calvin. we sat and enjoyed some snl and we told them about our bike trip and then started telling lots of sleepwalking stories about our good friend nate. we always seem to tell sleepwalking stories to people we meet. kody, went on a bike tour of south america from panama to colombia so he shared some pictures and stories from his trip. such a great guy and he's the one that gave marte the "stones into schools" book that i was reading. such a small and great world we live in. we stayed up late and talked but decided to head to back to head to bed.
that is one sexy tan line evan has.
