Yesterday, I rode the chairlift to the top of Beaver Creek Mountain. The weather was perfect: clear, cool, sunny with hardly a cloud in the sky. The visibility at the top seemed limitless and the views were breathtakingly beautiful. In some of the pictures, you can see that the tallest peaks are still covered with snow. Some of the locals think that the highest snow probably won't even melt this summer.
Another person I talked to said that there are 58 mountain peaks higher than 14,000 feet in Colorado, and he belongs to a club that tries to climb all these high peaks. He said that he had climbed 26 of these giants so far. Colorado life sounds rugged and fun!
I continue taking Book 2 classes and observing many, many children's lessons. We are currently going over a piece called Arietta that some of you will play soon.
Tonight I went to a concert with teenage students and professionals playing chamber music. I listened to a Mozart string quartet, a Mendelsson piano trio, and a glorious Janacek quartet. Going to concerts is one of my favorite things.
Scroll all the way down to see some pictures from the summit of Beaver Creek Mountain.
