TODAY'S EXCITEMENT

The day started off with a great visit to The Garden of the Gods and the climbers were out scaling perpendicular walls. One of them gave us a real scare when he slipped, thank God he was roped to another climber because he was on his was to a horrible fall.

After lunch we headed to Manibou Springs, people watched and shopped around.  Luanne and I needed to get fishing licenses and Jeanne was nice enough to take us to the fly shop, about ten minutes away.

We walked in the door of the shop and Luanne discovered her wallet with EVERYTHING she had with her was gone.  PANIC TIME!!!   We headed out the door to get back to Manitou Springs, I was on the phone with the police station when she had a call.  It was from her credit card company, the person who found her wallet was smart enough to call them and ask the CC company to call Luanne.  They actually patched her through to the young people who had found it to arrange a pick up point.  Talk about relieved, she was beyond upset, and this at the start of our trip.  Restores your faith in human kind!

Off tonight to a nice little Italian restaurant we discovered the last time we were here.  Tomorrow, Great Sand Dunes National Park, and probably no more posting until we get to Durango.
