TLDR: What I (we) did during our lovely rest day in Craig, Colorado, told in pictures from my camera roll.
9:30 AM: Woke up. Mostly because Sophia barged into the room where we were all sleeping and roused us with her lumbering footsteps and grand plans for a morning coffee outing to the “Mudd Shack”??
10:13 AM: Obtained coffee from said Mudd Shack. I got an iced latte with coconut milk. The others (Timothy, Aja, and Sophia) deliberately chose to exclude me, all ordering iced ~London Fogs~ with ~a shot~ of ~espresso~. Lame.
10:25 AM: On the leisurely walk back to the church where we’ve been staying, stumbled upon a laundromat x soda fountain/snack bar. Set an objective to return with our communal laundry bag (it’s EFFICIENT, NOT gross) and feast on grilled macs and cheeses and mystery soup while doing laundry.
11:40 AM: Secured laundry bag.
11:51 AM: Laundry time! What a place. Aja cheesin and lookin cute. Timothy pocketing leftover quarters. And now we wait.
12:22 PM: Joel and Parth join us for lunch break at the laundromat/Bear Coal Soda Fountain. Treated ourselves to paninis with chips and pickles and, later, Italian sodas and ice creams. I dropped some of my savings on a Bear Coal Soda Fountain shirt, which I am currently wearing with great pride.
3:15 PM: Walmart run with Aja for groceries and toiletries and all the other necessit-ies. We have truly become a well-oiled machine when it comes to knocking out the shopping list (divide and conquer -> coalesce and cross-check). On the way out, were intrigued by the concept of Cajun Quarts (GumGo!©)
4:26 PM: Aja insists that we bring all of our grocery bags into the church in one go, resulting in ^this awful mess.
7:40 PM: Sunset from inside the sanctuary.
~8:30 PM, not pictured: We all had dinner (chili with quinoa) together and it was just so darn good that I forgot to take a picture. Thanks Timothy for being head cook.
11:21 PM: Vincent vincenting. It’s hard to describe what’s going on, but it’s happening.
Honorary meme (source: Timothy) to cap off the day, summarizing how it feels to describe life on this trip to my friends and family whenever we catch up, and how it feels to blog when the brain is goo.
