Bitter Cold!!!!

It is cold...brutally cold. Only 20 degrees today and down to zero tonight.

Am I glad we are leaving tomorrow or what!

This morning, I parked downtown and walked a block. I thought I wouldn't make it.

A little wind and cold, brutally cold, temperatures made the walk almost unbearable. I will admit that I was unprepared with no hat or gloves but give me a break, one block! I shouldn't have any problem...but it was bad.

I forgot how cold real cold can get. Wow!

Bracing for sure but not for me.

I ate lunch at China Village. We have been eating there for over 32 years! I was glad to see that they had a healthy business.

This is surprising because there are better Chinese restaurants in town but this has been a favorite for many over the years.

It was nostalgic. I have met many people for lunch there. Many great friendships. Many endearing lunches. I returned on the recommendation of a dear friend. And, it was good.

We are now in a hotel in Denver and we're leave early tomorrow morning for Panama. I am ready. I am visited out. I am ready for some solitary time to recuperate from the trip.

And the trip was magnificent!

We experienced hospitality at it's best. And renewed friendships. And had a great time.

Thanks to everyone in Colorado Springs! You made us feel welcome and cherished.
