Half and Half

6 more hours in the car. Not bad at all, still awesome scenery. Especially when we came up on the rockies and saw them for the first time. The driving was crazy steep once we hit the mountains.

Arrived in Vail um zwei Uhr. Can definitely tell a difference in air pressure (and oxygen). At 8,000 feet a jog up a hill nearly killed me. Basic stuff going on. Had a cook out and scavenger hunt to get to know people on project, and drove around in the Valley. It’s not too bad hanging out in the Mountains. Excited to see what church brings tomorrow, overall it will be great to be with a body of believers. And I have never met any of them before, so it should be a learning experience.

Can't wait to:
Find a job
go biking
get used to the oxygen level
(^ it's crazy, they say we burn 1.5 times the calories here as you would in say...KY. We are told to drink at least 160 oz a day)

Bugs,
LOVE the blog!!! Thanks for taking the time to do it. :-) I sent it to people who have sent you support and are praying for you. Hope that is O.K.
How was church this morning.. what is it called, is there a demonination, how far is it away from the condos? We went to Whitney's last summer and it was a pretty cool church.
I bet you've meet all kinds of cool people from all over the country. I'm going to check out that project website you gave again to read about them.
Thrilled that you made it fine and are having a good time. Take care, wear sunscreen if you are outside. I'm sure the sun is really strong up there on the mountains. Love you, Mom

Hey Tyler
Speedy job with the updating blog:) I am reaaally jealous of where you are. Being in the mountains right now sounds de-light-ful... especially after sitting in traffic. That's great that you all get to know the other people in your project so soon. Good luck with the things on your list, especially getting used to the oxygen level. That might help. Can't wait to hear about the exciting things that will happen! Still praying for you.
Oh and I googled your little German phrase to translate it... you got there around 2.
