Garden of the Gods & Manitou Springs

Local ops around Colorado Springs today.

First up was Garden of the Gods WIKI.

Beautiful park that has roads and hiking trails throughout. Locals drive through on their errands just because it is so beautiful. Amazing rock formations. And, yada yada, pictures don't do it justice.
















And, a big surprise, long horn sheep right next to the road. A first for Luke and Deb.




Then to Manitou Springs WIKI an interesting town with many quaint shops.  One had loads of stuff from Mexico but never mentioned origin. We recognized almost everything and had been where it was made. They had copper sinks that we have pictures of in the Patzcurao entries. Sinks there were arounf $20, here they were pushing $200. When I mentioned it to the owner, said the name of the small village and realized that we wouldn't be buying. Some sights of the town. Luke was the horse race winner in an old fashion arcade game where you advance the horses tossing a ball into holes.














Bruno was glad when we finished touring and got back home. He has a new friend in Rachel.


Another great day.
