greetings from the mile high city

I've arrived! ... in Denver, Colorado to start orientation.

About 60 or 70 of us flew into Denver today and drove about an hour north to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Here we will have some basic orientation - administration stuff, cultural relations, and some foundational stuff. Long days here... read: 7am to 6pm (ok, so breakfast is at 7am and supper is 6pm, but are those really optional?).

I've attached a couple pictures and two videos to show you the campus. It is beautiful. The sky in this part of Colorado is a deep blue that feels like you can reach out and touch. The campus buildings have neat architecture and the rooms are like hotel rooms. Trust me... I've seen pictures of Laos and Vietnam and things get a little more rugged in Hanoi and Pakse. This is like the calm before the plunge into the boonies!

ENJOY...
