Tuesday - July 9

Gorgeous day in Colorado Springs and so pleasant with perfect temperatures and nice breeze.    Ann, Mark and I went to "R and R Coffee Cafe" for breakfast and great coffee!    Mark had their cinnamon roll French toast - oh my....Ann and I shared an omelet!   Wonderful!!!   

Delicious cinnamon roll French Toast and ham

We 3 left stuffed and off to the Garden of the Gods.   Oh my, absolutely breathtaking seeing all those rock formations against the deep blue skies, and then after some hiking, we watched a short video of how it all happened millions of years ago!    The Air Force Cadet Choir sang "America the Beautiful" and we learned that Katharine Lee Bates, (after seeing Pikes Peak) was inspired to write that beautiful song in 1893.     Very enjoyable morning.

 Back home....John had stayed behind with McGregor.    This sweet doggie is blind and was not feeling well this morning, but seemed fine after we got home!   Mark, John and I took naps, I did a load of laundry and we just hung out with books, laptops, etc.   

 We all went to Guadalajara Mexican restaurant for very good dinner and lots of chatter.

Ann, Mark and I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood on such a pretty evening.    Love looking at all the homes, golf course, etc.    Watched All Star game....

Tomorrow we are off to Antonito.
