Wednesday September 5, 2018 Colorado Springs, Colorado

Drove out this morning to tour the US Air Force Academy just outside of Colorado Springs. Fantastic setting at the base of the mountains and a great sprawling campus. Visited the Chapel and watched at 11:30 as all the cadets gathered around the central green in squads to march to lunch. Quite a site.


Drove back into town and picked Tucker up to walk around Old Colorado City and have lunch. We were here a few days ago with Kris and Deidre but the rain kept us from looking at all the shops. Had lunch on the patio of Pizzeria Rustica. Great Cremini al Forno appetizer and a Salsiccia pizza from a wood fired oven.

After lunch and touring Old Colorado City drove out to revisit the Garden of the Gods without the huge crowds that we experienced trying to see it last weekend.
