Home at last!

...20 hours and eight security checks later, I arrived safe and sound to the place I call home, Colorful Colorado! My oh my, it feels good to be back (however long that may be). It's quite wonderful to sleep in the same bed, have all access to a stocked fridge, and a car at my disposal...these are the little things one misses while away from home.

The family is well. Mom and dad were excited to show me the pictures from their Europe trip, and it was cool to see the places I recently visited in their photographs. Mark is enjoying CU, and he came home to teach me the 'tricks of the trade' for my new Mac.

If you have not already guessed it, I'm broke. I spent every cent that I saved from working in Korea. Four months teaching, two months in Europe and a new computer later...back at zero! Not too shabby...I guess that's better than being in the hole...

Traveling Jules travels no more. For now.

In a few days, traveling jules will hopefully (crossed fingers) unpack her backpack in a nice Vail lockoff (finding housing in Vail is impossible!) and begin teaching people how to do toe and heel side turns again. Instead of jumping on trains and navagating around cities, I will be jumping over ledges and navagating around through the trees. Here I come!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you friends and family for "Traveling with Jules" throughout Europe (and thank you for your kind words about the blog)! ;)

I hope I will continue to find interesting things to write about in Vail so I blog all winter! I can cover various topics like: how many inches of fresh powder we got overnight, how many days in, and how many fur coats seen...

Stay tuned...
