Its hard to update in the mountains

As some of you know, my computer is a jackass. Sometimes he likes to work and sometimes no matter what I do or how close I am sitting to the wireless box he simply will not give me internet. Needless to say, this makes updating a bit tricky at times.

BUT I am trying. I managed to get those photos up the other day via my iphone and I will continue to do so as much as possible.

Right now I'm at Starbucks, their internet totally works. I think it's part of their world domination conspiracy. I now only drink their chai and I can only access internet on their premises. God, they're savvy those starbuckaroos!

So to catch up to where we are at... Sunday was my first full day out here in Vail with the bro. I woke up early (in New York I wake up everyday at 8am which out here is 6am so the fact that I woke up at 7:45am here was actually sleeping in for me but I digress...) and waited patiently for sleeping beauty (aka Zach) to get up so our day could begin. We started with a Farmer's Market in Vail (I LOVE farmer's markets and so one in a Bavarian Village at the foot of a mountain was super awesomeness) and got ourselves some styling sun hats for our trip to the dessert whilst tasting fresh Palisades peaches and super sweet honey. Z kept saying how expensive Vail is but I can't imagine its too much more obscene then NYC, I mean 6 bedroom mansions here are running at 3 million per its kind of comparable to a 2,000 sq ft 2 bedroom in my hood really. I say bargain!

Later we checked out Z's school in the little town of Gypsum. There are probably more people living in the West Village than this whole valley town! But very cute, and not a bad view when at work.

We cooked (and by we I mean Zach only) Dad's famous stir-fry for dinner that night, sharing with Z's roommates in an effort to butter them up for a game night. While Z and I may not have much in common (he's blond haired and blue eyed while I'm brunette with green eyes; he's small town in the mountains while I'm biggest city in the world) there is one thing that we both share- a LOVE for board games... and the common problem of not being able to get our friends as enthused about playing them! Come on people! Game nights are fun!!

I hate (and by hate I mean love) to say that I was the victor of all 4 games we played that evening. Perhaps this is my true talent, game playing? Is there a job out there for this do we suppose?

Anyway, that sums up day ONE, next post for Monday...

Peace and Love
