| Just Can't Wait To Get On The Road Again | |

07/11/07 - Fort Collins, CO (Shutterfly photo album-CO, WY, MT, ID, WA) Starting our 5-week road trip from Albuquerque to British Columbia |
|
|
We weren't technically scheduled to leave until tomorrow, but we
just couldn't wait to hit the road. So here we are at a
Sleep Inn in Fort Collins, 11 hours or so after leaving
Albuquerque. That 11 hours included a lunch in the
historic Union Street district of Pueblo, Colorado, and a stop
at the not-so-historic outlet mall of Castle Rock (not to
mention several traffic problems - we're not in sparsely
populated New Mexico anymore). It was a warm, Wednesday
summer evening in Fort Collins, and this place is bustling!
The restaurant patios are full, there are plenty of people out
in the streets, there's live entertainment in the main town
square... most cities would love to have this kind of activity
on a weekend. Seems like a really fun college town.
Apparently we weren't quite ready to totally disengage from New
Mexico yet... we ended up having margaritas and dinner at a
Mexican restaurant tonight. Tomorrow we head up to
Jackson, Wyoming, where we're basing ourselves to explore the
Grand Teton National Park. |
