K & T left this morning….Boo Hoo! The time went too fast! They got here on Monday,
July 23 around 5:00, and we went on up to the Dog Bar at Cuchara to eat, first
thing. Next morning, we decided we had
plenty of time, so headed for the Denver area to visit Blackhawk and Central
City. http://www.blackhawkcolorado.com/ Very
interesting and picturesque. Many casinos – a lot more than at Cripple
Creek – plus old buildings and interesting sights. We stayed two nights, (Tues., and Wed.) stopped
at a Super Walmart in Colorado Springs to do a little shopping on the way back
to La Veta. (Thurs.) Spent Fri. morning washing clothes, to Georges in
Walsenburg for lunch, and to the Drawing Class in the afternoon. Fri. eve, we ate at La Veta Loco – a relatively
new café/bar which has excellent hamburgers.
Sat. was an all day class, with a two hour break, and there was a
celebration going on in town – an anniversary celebration for Fort Francisco. Lots of people milling around, so after
eating lunch, we walked around for an hour or so, went thru the fort, looked at
a couple of coffee shops I wanted to know more about, and checked out the
S.P.A.C.e art exhibits = Kathy Hill had
several paintings on display there. Went
to Mass at Christ the King, then ate sandwiches. Sunday moring early, K&T head for Taos to
go rafting on the Rio Grande. I messed around all morning - (walked to the Catholic and back, stopped at Paradise Coffee) - then to the drawing
class at 2:00. They didn’t get back till the class was over at 5 – took a wrong
turn someplace. One last meal at La
Veta Loco, then to bed so could get up early and pack for the trip home.
