No common theme.

Porte du Soleil—just like the ball-in-the-cup game

Castle. Seeing old stuff everywhere is so new.

Still a long way to up go up…

…and it’s pretty steep too (picture taken at an equally steep angle).

A perfect reading bench, you just have to climb a few thousand feet to get there…

...or you could catch one of these, which cruise up and down one-way streets and single-lane mountain passes. Given the hysteria caused by some relatively benign sections of Independence Pass, hazards like these trains and the abundant single-lane mountain passes would terrify drivers in the US. Here though, such unmarked dangers are common, and drivers seem to embrace the challenge by accelerating through blind corners and narrowly passing cyclists. Oddly though, people drive with such confidence and assertiveness that I feel pretty safe, and I have yet to see an accident. I thought maybe the difference was the imported cars—the BMW’s, Mercedes, and Audis--that everyone seems to drive (maybe because here they aren’t that imported after all), but then again, most Aspenites have fast cars too. Must be all the F1 racing on Eurosport.

And to wrap-up this random post, here's a woos that crawled out from under Fraggle Rock:

First of all- huh, yammy. I thought that we were all over that nickname. In addition, I love Fraggle Rock and I can definitely see the comparison. I wish that it would come on back. I also like the looks of the reading bench but I'd opt for the trolley car to get me there.
