We traveled!-July 21, 2016

We were offered a free room at a hotel in Black Hawk, Colorado, and we took it. So we picked up Jerry's sister, Judy and headed to the mountains on Tuesday after we dropped the girls off at home. 

I didn't realize it was so dark while it was raining. This appears to

be an eagle. Not. It is a hawk. A Black Hawk. Hence, the name of the city.

It is a beautiful little mountain town with clean air and very nice people.

And this bronze is stunning and gigantic.

 

The rain hit within just a few minutes after we got checked into the hotel.

I mean the Heavens opened up and it poured. It lasted maybe half

an hour. Then the sun came out. Can you see the rain pouring off the roof

just above the sign?

 

Every time we are there, I have to check out what they do with orchids.

That's a waterfall behind the Aspen bark and orchids. I could stand

and look at this for a very long time. It is so soothing. And beautiful.

 

We had a fabulous time. Jerry and I both really needed a break in our repetitive routine. We're ready to go back. They better not offer us another free room. We will trip over each other getting the truck loaded!!
