From Stella: So today the drive wasn't much better than yesterday, but once we got to Denver it was fine. On the way, we stopped by the gas station to get gas, but we also got really tasty sandwiches from Quiznos. Once we got to the hotel I went swimming in the outdoor pool (yay) and made a new friend. The shower here is really weird because it's hard to get the temperature just right. We went to dinner, it was delicious. I had albondigas soup. Mmm, so good.
From Stacey: We left a little earlier than normal today for our long, 420 mile drive from the middle of nowhere Kansas, to Denver. Don't get me wrong, Salina was a cute little town, but we have an end goal here and it's getting home. As we were just starting out the drive this morning it was foggy. It was really peaceful with the fog on the plains with the wind farms. Today's agriculture consisted of corn, sorghum and sunflowers! We only crossed one state line today. I am highly sensitive to altitude. I think it comes from basically living at an altitude less than 100'. So our 4000' climb from Kansas into Denver left me exhausted. Thank you physiology class for giving me the knowledge to know why I was so freaking tired. Once we checked into the hotel, I had to take a nap! We had Mexican (real Mexican) food for dinner. We have another long day tomorrow, off to Fruita, CO. At least the drive will be pretty!
