Wool Market

Yesterday, Johann went to Wool Market in Estes Park. It is a small festival with lots of animals and some vendors selling wooly things. Estes Park is in the mountains at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park - the drive is pretty, but the road is twisty with not many places to stop, so we didn't get any pictures along the way.


Look at those horns!



This huge Corriedale sheep was getting fluffed and trimmed.


This llama was out for a walk.


Watching the Llama Limbo contest!

Boulder Creek Festival

Johann went to see the Boulder Creek Festival today! It was cold and rainy, but he perservered all afternoon.


He stopped to watch a mexican dance group under a tent. They are dancing with water glasses and candles balanced on their heads!


Watching the rubber duck race on Boulder Creek!


Johann warms up with a cup of tea at Dushanbe tea house after the festival.

Miami and a little theater

We opened the community theater performance of Ibsen's "John Gabriel Borkman" on Friday, Johann came along and hung out backstage.

Johann like the palm trees (actually, this one is a palmetto)
We are staying in a posh hotel. Johann got to jump on the bed!

Fort Collins

Yesterday we drove up to Fort Collins for work. Johann got to nap while I went to an all-day meeting. It was very windy and cold, so Johann didn't want to spend a lot of time outside. We saw lots of stuff from the car.

Here was a strange park with big slabs of stone and fountains


Then we drove past the Budwieser (beer) factory
