Aspen (7/6 - 7/7)

A shimmering Aspen tree

During our journey through Colorado, we met quite a handful of residents who admitted to never having been to Aspen. After our brief time spent in this quaint town of perfect streets, cute shops, and multitudinous ski lodges, we are confused as to why. With mountains to hike, gondolas to ride, ice cream and brownies to be savored, concerts to be enjoyed ... why would one want to be anywhere else?

-D, thanks for your bb morning messages. You never stop amazing me. Good times, good times!

-Our biggest thanks goes to Jihyun Kim, who shared our hikes and meals, introduced us to practically everyone in town, and got us the best seats at last night's Aspen Music Festival all-Brahms chamber music concert featuring violinist Gil Shaham, cellist Lynn Harrell, and pianist Akira Eguchi.

Jihyun, fearless leader up the Ute Trail, you made us laugh and imparted to us your love of this town called Aspen. Yet, we still don't know how you manage to look glamorous and beautiful ALL the time. Safe travels back to New York City.
