rocky mountain high

this place reminds me of denver. i see half naked kids walking their goats. the predominant color is reddish brown and even the things that used to be white are reddish brown. sand is everywhere. men, women and children balance 5 gallon containers of water on their heads. the smell of the salty bay and oily bodies fills the air. its nearly 100 degrees out everyday. palm trees line the coast. avocado trees are pregnant with meat. mangos and pineapples are for sale on various corners. the majority of the people here have really really dark tans. the majority of the people who have really dark tans think that i have more money than they do since i'm not as dark. they try to sell me stuff. even when i say no they keep on waving their wares in front of my face. yes, this reminds me of home.

wait. i seem to remember there should be some really big mountains around here somewhere.
