Denver area for a few days to visit David and Nancy, Tom's friends
from youth. We also stayed 2 nights at a Westin as I won the bid for
a travel auction for a weekend stay.
This will be our last mountain stay and I believe I'll really miss
seeing them on the horizon. Here in the Rockies we've done some light
hiking and have been amazed at the amount of water raging through the
rock and flooding the rivers in the lowe elevations. The weather has
been perfect (Nancy says the weather is almost always perfect) with
sunshine and deep blue skies. We relaxed Sunday afternoon with a
picnic by the rushing water and a stroll down pedestrians-only Pearl
Street in Boulder. A day exploring downtown Denver on our own is our
last event on the itinerary before our thank-you dinner out with David
and Nancy.
We are now within 2 weeks of returning home and I'm filled with
conflicting feelings. I'm looking forward to seeing friends and know
I have things at home that must be done. Still, I believe I must be a
descendant of nomads, for I surely love to wander.
Here's a great bumper sticker I saw earlier on the trip: "Not all who
wander are lost.". Amen!
