PICTURES!!!

This was as Neele and I waited for the rest of our castmates to sign their lives away to the Arkansas River!

Here we are in an old (and quaint) town where we went to a delicious Mexican restaurant... we made friends with a police officer at a traffic light... who gave us special parking permission. And as for the picture, it is of me trying quaccamole for the first time! I loved it (but cound never before get past its nasty green color).

This was the view from the dome of the capital building!

Looking down on loads of my castmates as they tour the Denver capital building....

Chillin' out between rehearsals ...
Vitor (Brazil) and I!
This was my fantastic group for the scavenger hunt... we walked seriously from one side of the city to another, got creative, and even danced in the rain.
Pre-rafting, this is my roommates and I at Gunsmoke. It is a very historical cafe situated right across from the rafting place. While eating, I read up on the history of the cafe - it was famous for hosting many of the bad boys of the American West. Above me at my breakfast table hung a picture, taken maaaaannnnny years ago, of about 15 men - sitting in almost that very spot. Among them, former president Teddy Roosevelt, Wyatt Earp, Morgan Earp, and The Sundance Kid. Pretty sweet!
This is me with some of the girls prior to our rafting experience - From left to right, we have Eriko (Japan), Bianca (Arizona), me, Riika (Finland) and Rina (Finland).

This is a look back to the culture jam that I had written about. These are some of my castmates in costume as they performed. From left to right: Chihiro (Japan - she is also my language buddy!!!), Ai (Japan)... and a cool fact - in Japanese, Ai means "love", Wichitra (Thailand), and Eriko (Japan). I thought their costumes were so beautiful!

This is Ouray. He represents the Navajo Nation within our cast. Here, he performed a traditional Native American dance. It was intersting to see Chief Ouray's portrait hanging in the capital building... I'll have to ask Ouray if that is who he was named after, as this figure was apparently very instrumental in shaping Colorado's history.

These are the Netherlands representatives... On the left is Mayke, my roommate. Next to her is Jochem, then Marieke, Frederik, Gijs, and Milou. They sang their national anthem... in Dutch of course.


Hope you enjoyed!!!

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM ~ I MISS YOU!!! :-)
