The Travelettes have once again featured a guest article I wrote on their wonderful site! You can find it Here. This site is a resource that any and all female (actually anybody) travelers should check out whether they’re planning a trip, daydreaming about where to go next, or just looking for cool articles to read from the comfort of home. The women who run this site are true travel gurus and are a gold mine of information and dead-useful tips and tricks. Last fall I wrote about my solo trip to San Francisco. Find that piece Here. If you’re not too busy reading and rereading (ha) my articles, get lost in some truly fabulous posts about exotic locations you’ve only ever dreamed of. Have fun!

Cafe Life: Carbondale, Co
It’s the weekend before my birthday I and decided to drive three hours straight west into the mountains to spend time with an old friend. She lives in a picturesque little town called Carbondale. The Crystal River flows nearby, the mountains surround us, and the downtown is only one street. I’m sipping my cappuccino in a cafe called Bonfire. The drink is good, and since it’s late in the afternoon the place is nearly empty. There’s me of course, writing, and a small group of baby boomer’s discussing things like the con-artistry of Costco, and raising kids. Outside the temperature hovers just above freezing and the sleet turned to snow. In Carbondale the trees all have Christmas lights and the bars have outdoor fireplaces for people to enjoy both the the scenery and beer.
I can’t say this is cafe is entirely my style but the scone I ate was delicious and the cappuccino is doing it’s job of perking me up and keeping my productive. In between writing this I’m adding the finishing touches to another travel piece for a different blog. I have a book too (of course), and the pressure is on to finish the last hundred plus pages before it’s due at the library on Monday.
