Another gorgeous day in Gothic

We took a walk along the old road which connected
Gothic with Crested Butte and which runs along,
but way above the river. Actually, it is better
situated than the "new" road because it is out of
the avalanche path.

Ariel is coming down with something. Coughing and
sneezing and feeling rotten. She voluntarily went
back to bed this morning. What a bummer to get
sick on your vacation!

Carl fixed another magnificent breakfast this
morning. We are eating like kings.

Gothic, Colorado

We left from Erie, in tandem, with Carl, Martha and Ariel. Because
of snow in the high country we didn't go over Cottonwood Pass
this year; took the highways all the way to Gothic.

Teocali was ready and waiting for us and Robyn showed up as we
were unloading the vehicles. The vehicles were both very full. Carl
had his telescope in his car and we had the box for the batteries,
we plan to bring back, in our car.

Robyn was delighted with the Kindle we gave her as a Bon
Voyage present and has already started down loading books
to have with her in the Antarctica.

We had a late dinner, which Carl prepared, of ravioli and salad.
cake that I brought, for dessert and ice cream that Carl and
Martha snuck in, much to my amazement.

Yesterday we took a tour of Gothic from Teocali to the othe
end of town and saw all that Robyn had accomplished this
summer, which is a lot! She has wrought many improvements
to the physical plant.

Robyn and I fixed dinner; we have a tradition of preparing
enchiladas together. We did that again. Robyn points out the
tradition is the same, but the recipe differs depending on what
we have to put in them. In any case they were very good.

This morning we are all up, breakfasted and ready for another
adventure. At the moment Robyn and Martha are experimenting
with their Kindles.
