Environmentally Friendly & Gorgeous

This past weekend was just too much fun as per usual.   Friday a group of 17 of us headed down to Denver to eat at the Watercourse - a vegetarian restaurant that is YUMMY.  Before y'all meat eaters start making any faces - I'm telling you this is some of the best food I have eaten.  The menu was huge - the portions fantastic - the drinks refreshing - and the desserts delicious.  We all had a wonderful time.  The large group parted ways after dinner - some wanted to go dancing - while others (including myself) wanted to check out the bar scene of Denver.  Needless to say several several bars later - the new roomie Megs and I found ourselves catching the last bus to Boulder at 2:22 AM.  Now that was an experience.

Megs and I waiting for the bus ... we were trying to pass the time via a photo shoot.  

Saturday after being dragged out of bed the four roomies headed to the Soy Compound for some fun in the sun.  Now you might be asking yourselves - Soy Compound?  Well - one of our friends has the hook up and knows the people who created many of the soy foods you see in your grocery store today - and I'm not just talking about the tofu ... soy milk products, etc. Well as you can imagine their home is GORGEOUS and one of the most environmentally friendly places I have been.  It was like a resort...awesome way to spend the day with new friends. 

Walking into the house you cross a bridge and to your right is water fall - plus down below are giant gold fish swimming around. 

The view from the garden looking towards the pool and deck area.  The flower pictures from previous blog post are from the garden. 

The swimming pool / lake - it was all natural and had algae that self cleaned the pool.  After getting out your skin felt super soft - it was crazy.  Also - check out the view of the mountains in the back ground - gorgeous!! 

Sunday was filled with another adventure - Megs and I headed to where she grew up - Evergreen, CO.  Beautiful mountain town ... that happens to have a wild WHITE buffalo running around with one of the herds.  According to Native American Indians 2,000 years ago a young woman who first appeared in the shape of a white buffalo gave the Lakota's ancestors a sacred pipe and sacred ceremonies and made them guardians of the Black Hills. Before leaving, she also prophesized that one day she would return to purify the world, bringing back spiritual balance and harmony; the birth of a white buffalo calf would be a sign that her return was at hand. 

Prior to checking out the white buffalo we attempted to drive up Mount Evans... 

Y'all see the snow?! Thats right we got caught in a SNOW STORM in our attempt to drive to the top on the highest auto road 

Not sure if you can tell - but that is snow falling!! 

That's okay - because on Tuesday I went down to Colorado Springs and checked out the US Air force Academy and drove to the top of Pike's Peak (another 14,000 ft mountain).  I'll put up the pictures of that crazy adventure sometime this week.
