We spent the day hanging out in Boulder. We like a breakfast restaurant called Snooze. It’s very popular. Even though we joined the waiting list on the app before we left the hotel, we still waited almost 50 minutes for an outside table. And yes, they have an app. It looks like we’ll have some Covid precautions for a while. They have no paper menus. You aim your cell phone camera at a QR code and the browser navigates to an online version of the menu.
The photo above is from the lobby of the Hotel Boulderado. It’s not too hot here, but it’s humid. So we had some of the ‘not Sprite’ after our walks during the day.
We spent a good amount of time walking around the Pearl Street Mall. About five blocks of Pearl street have been closed to car traffic for a long time. Since the start of the pandemic, they’ve closed off another three blocks to provide outdoor seating options for more restaurants. The mall has a lot of interesting street art, plenty of restaurants and food stands, coffee shops, boutiques, etc. We got some inspiration for our place but the thing I liked the best is unlikely to happen at our house. It’s a slab of rock about twenty feet high and eight by four at the bottom.
We sat for a while at a coffee shop until the rain came. Dinner was Lark Burger via Uber Eats. We’ll always recommend Lark, but Uber Eats has never really worked well for us. Twice the price for two times the wait and half the (food) warmth.
Later in the evening we took a walk on the mall and came across a street performer who has memorized all of the zip codes in the US. No one stumped him.
Off to Santa Fe tomorrow.
