Onward through the rain



Today we hightailed it up thru Colorado to light in Fort Collins with the Lovely Doug and delightful Faye.
I got to see a windmill farm. Forget your grandma's windmills. This guys are huge and clustered on the edge of a ridge and go on for miles. Fantastic to see.
We ate at the Freedom Cafe. 2 eggs , 3 pancakes, 2 sausage patties and hash browns for 6.50. Waited on by the little girl( Seventeen is little to me) who was on the student council and serenaded by a little girl ( This one was about 6) on singing along with "This Little Light of Mine" on her laptop computer. You have to love it.
We went from the flat ,flat Texas plains to the mountains of Colorado in just a few miles. And it is cold up here. We are going to the Continental Divide tomorrow and there is going to be SNOW. Take that Austin with your 100 degree heat.
We did hit a patch of rain outside Denver, but Cori made it through with flying colors.
The trip is now going on longer because I totally messed up and got my dates messed up. This is going to be great. More tomorrow.
