As we headed east into central Colorado we had the pleasure of crossing the Rocky Mountains. Anyone who has been there can speak of their grandeur. The massive mountains have rock faces on their sides that make you feel you are passing through a gigantic castle. Among the thick green trees, rock spires jut skyward like noble sentries watching the ant-sized humans go by. And wide rivers wind through it all.
We came upon this mountain valley town and thought it looked so idealistic we just had to take a picture. We imagined it snow-covered in winter and thought of the magic of watching the seasons come and go with such distinction.
As we continued up and over the Rockies, I just could not stop exclaiming over the big beauty of it all. Dave was busy searching his iphone for the nearest health food stores and sending text messages. I had a moment of "technology hate" because I wanted to share the moment with Dave and he was junked out on the iphone. We had a tiff and he said, "I know you think the iphone is the devil, but it gets us where we need to go." To which I replied, "the devil may deliver but if he ruins the journey by doing so he owns your soul." Of course the resolution is finding the balance in all things. We finally came to peace on this but we continue to call Dave's iphone "The Devil" and when we want directions, he says, "Let me consort with the devil to find out..."
