July 14 - 16th Street

M

My main reason for wanting to go to 16th street was to go to the Tattered Covered Bookstore, but I didn't take any photos of it at all.  This photo was taken at a free outdoor concert.  Galen and I walked up almost the entire length of 16th in blistering but dry heat, stopping at Mad Greens for delicious salads, and to listen to the concert for a bit before taking the free bus back.  We saved the Tattered Cover for last, hung out there a while, and then caught the light rail back to the Park and Ride.

July 13 - Concert

Galen and I went home for showers and naps and returned for dinner with Gwen and Dan at Woody's.  After dinner we went to a free guitar and dulcimer concert which didn't turn out to be what we expected since they didn't play any of the traditional music associated with the dulcimer.  But the evening was lovely and so was the park and we enjoyed the whole experience.

July 13 - Muddy feet

The Clear Creek Trail was pretty muddy in places so Chile took a dip and got her feet cleaned off.  She had complete bath when she got home. 

July 13 - Clear Creek

Our San Antonio friends, Dan and Gwen, are renting a house in Golden for two months so we got together in the morning for a beautiful hike along Clear Creek.

July 12 - Denver family

The first thing we did after getting set up in Golden was to go into Denver to visit family.  Aunt Barb is my father's sister.  My uncle Diti wouldn't ride the trike but agreed to sit in one.  My cousin, Peg loved riding it.  Jen and Ken rode their bikes to the famous Bonnie Brae Ice Cream shop while Galen, Peg and I walked.  Jen and Peg rode them back.

July 10 - Moving on

We decided to stay in The Springs another couple of days and then move on to the fairgrounds near Golden, but couldn't stay in the same site so had to hitch up and move about 100'.  We had a farewell to Colorado Springs breakfast at the Mountain Shadow Restaurant.  Great green chile sauce there!

July 8 - Dillon and Jen

I love this photo of Dillon and Jen.  Seeing that big smile on Dillon's face - there just aren't words.  We can't thank the Jaaps and their extended family members enough for reaching out to us the way they have.  It must have been a difficult thing for them to do and I hope they have been blessed as much by our meeting as much as we have.
