fighting the age in colorado. one of the things that would amaze me a lot, is the way people spend their free time. and especially older people, those who are (or should be) retired. my impression is that back home in czechioa most people would really retire and they just would not do too much apart from taking care of family. it is a lot different here. all the people do biking even if they may be in their early (or not so early, in fact) seventies. everybody does cross-country skiing, many people weould do downhill skiing, most would do hiking. it is definitely different from mainstream america and it is smth i like here a lot. being aware of the fact that it is not average americans i am meeting here, it still leaves me amazed at how active may and want to stay, even if they may have stopped working.
