Well, we have pretty well come to the end of the road. Brian leaves out tomorrow from Denver to fly home for his vestry meeting on Saturday morning, and then Johnny, Robert and I will make a stop at Garden of the Gods National Park tomorrow afternoon, and our goal is to be in Amarillo tomorrow night.
Today we had a very nice, slow, relaxing day -- the perfect kind of day before making the long trek back.
We woke up around 10am, finished our laundry and went in town to have lunch at Juicy Lucey’s in Glenwood Springs. We did a little bit of shopping (a nice lady at a local bookshop showed us some boxes of free books -- nothing this group likes more than free books!), had ice cream and coffee, and then came back here to the ranch (you can note the beautiful scenery here from our host home).
Around 5pm the four of us went with my father-in-law to Snowmass Monastery outside of Aspen. It had a lovely bookstore, and we shared in a beautiful service together. The Church was serene but beautiful and the surrounding countryside was awesome, despite the overcast and rainy weather. It is even supposed to get down to 54 degrees here tonight...just the way I like it!
I hope we will have high speed internet tomorrow night, and we will update the blog one more time after Garden of the Gods. Several of you ave asked about pictures - we have only put a fraction of the pictures we have taken up on the blog. Between Johnny, Robert and I we have close to 1500 pictures BEFORE we go to Colorado Springs tomorrow.
I am finishing up a little video of our trip, and if we can update the blog tomorrow, I will also put this video up on itunes and you can download it for free. Also, we are going to pool all of our pics and put them on cd’s for each guy, so if individual friends or family want pics, each of us will have them. It has been so great to keep up with you guys this way -- thanks for all your comments! We love you and look forward to seeing you very much...it has been great, but I, for one, am antsy to see my wife and kids! Much love to you all and have a GREAT Friday!
