Back in Colorado

After what seems like endless time in the air and long waits in airports, we are finally back in Colorado.

We spent a night in Boulder and the next day we shopped for groceries in the fabulous "Whole Foods Supermarket".

Those who live in the USA do not appreciate enough what is right on their doorsteps.

Only after coming back from a country where non organic produce sells for very high prices, do I appreciate being able to buy fabulous organic produce for reasonable prices.

And the variety and abundance of goods is so wonderful.

I was able to get fresh lemongrass and gallanga (Thai ginger) exotic mushrooms, huge pomegranates, organic fingerling purple potatoes, Veg Tom Yam paste and many more goods that would only be a dream in the Far North of NZ.

It is good to be home.

There is almost no snow on the mountains which must worry the ski resorts (and us).
