Actually I'm not a westerner at all, I'm an east-coaster through and through. So Boulder is as new to me as any foreign outpost.
I've been living in Turkey, Bulgaria and Belarus for the past several years, as an on-the-street anthropologist, seat-of-my-pants diplomat -- and teacher, student, writer, mother, wife of.
Coming back to the States a year ago I expected to pick right up where I left off 25 years before -- a banker in the heart of '80s Manhattan, newly married, no kids.
But I've grown up, my old neighborhood's gone, America's changed, the world's a different place.
