I'm in Colorado and so far I love it!  I can see the Rockies from my window and music is blaring outside.  Fort Collins is definitely a college town.  And everyone here is super fit and outdoorsy.  I noticed there are dogs everywhere, which makes me smile.  There's even a whole store for dog treats.  Lastly--I just ate one of the best salads I've ever had.  I wouldn't mention it but it was that fantastic.  
Love from CO.
PS--You can see smoke from the fires in the mountains from here.
