Yesterday was glorious, clear and sunny and warm. Perfect. We took a long walk to the downtown area of Estes Park, sat by the bubbling white water river, drank espressos, read, soaking in the rays, visited as couples do… very memorable. Then we shopped and enjoyed the local color of the street bazar filled with shop venders and their beautiful wares. It was hard to resist the gorgeous handcrafted pottery. Colorado artisans are famous for their pottery — such colors and creations.

Later we returned to the cabin and read and visited some more. We ate an early bit of supper, and then took an early evening drive. Well, we saw more elk feeding than we have the entire time!
