Sadly, we have come to the end of our journey, here in Denver, Colorado. It was yet another spectacular ride from Bryce to Denver. We stopped in Grand Junction, Colorado overnight and enjoyed visiting a few of the wineries and took in a movie (Extract), and arrived in Denver on Thurs. and had dinner in LoDo. Fri was busy, first a well-deserved mani/pedi for the extremely hiking-callused and sore feet, then a lovely lunch with the Denver branch of the Plotkin family (see photo), followed by a stroll down the 16th St. mall. We finished the day with a trip to Colorado Springs for dinner with a dear camp friend of YD's who we discovered was at Colorado College.
Then back to the hotel to pack up and try to figure out how to get the 5 foot walking stick we bought in the Grand Canyon into a 4 ft long duffle bag. We said goodbye to some objects that we had become close to over the past month, like the $6 styrofoam cooler we bought at the Wal-Mart in Minneapolis, which allowed us to keep food in the car and picnic, etc., and only eat one meal/day, at most, out. Then we ended our trip by celebrating the new year with an apple and some vanilla bean honey (amazingly delicious!) we bought at on the wineries in Grand Junction and a Coors Light (my apologies to Andy, but we are, after all, in the Rockies!). All and all a happy and nostalgic end to a fabulous journey!
