Film Festival Begins

Well, you probably have been wondering what is going on with my beard. Right now it is very annoying. Twice this afternoon I have contemplated shaving, but I have made it through another day and have not shaved. I am worried about what color it will come in. Right now it looks as though it will be all black, no signs of gray.

In other news, the Telluride Film Festival is here. They showed several movies about adventure sports. The common theme was nature = big, man = small. Man sadly did not win in all the films.

In keeping with the movie theme, nature is big down here, real big. We have been doing some small hikes (40 -60 mins). Small compared to the Super C. Some folks atempted the big hike today, but no one made it all the way. Weather dependant we will hopefully be able to try and improve on their bootpacks.

We also saw two very large birds flying today. Condors hopefully. Our Chilean roommate said they were likely condors as there are no other types of birds of prey up here. Sebastian, or Dude as we have dubbed him, is a college student and will be in Beantown at the end of August. He really wants to go to a Bosox game. If anyone has a line on some seats, let us know.
