I have been in the USA for the past 2 weeks. I stopped off to visit a friend in Paonia, Co, before heading to LA to compete in the Los Angeles marathon.

With 4 stop overs and 36 hours of travelling time I finally arrived in Paonia, CO. It is situated near the Utah/Colorado border. I'll also point out I left from a summery Joburg with temperatures of 90F and arrived in a cold, snowy 34F. The snow was amazing, not something we see often.
