Bob's daughter Goldie and her partner Gail had just moved into a house in Lafayette, CO, about 7 miles east of Boulder. The house had fabulous views of the Flat Irons out of many windows. They fixed us fabulous meals and took us on two lovely hikes on the weekend. The first hike, up Mt. Sanitas, was a work out, rewarded by fabulous views of Boulder and Denver from the top. Boulder is a city with a huge number of people who enjoy the outdoors. We passed lots of young people, old people, kids and dogs on the way.
On Monday we went to Cari and John Muller's house north of Lyons. Cari is the daughter of Bob's cousin Sally's partner. We met them at Ted and Myrna's wedding in Sedona, Arizona in 2005. We were the only people who wanted to hike. We shared a wonderful day hiking in Oak Creek Canyon. They live in this lovely house that was designed by Mark (who is an artist) and Cari's sister. It is stunning inside with Moroccan doors and shutter fitted into the living room, lovely mosaic floors in the bathrooms, and beautiful things everywhere you look. Cari and John have just (June) adopted two siblings (3 and 5 years old) and also brought two dogs and one cat home from Mexico, so their lives have changed a lot recently. They seem to be reveling in the change and Goldie and Gail offered to house sit for them in the future.
This was another example of having wonderful visits with family and friends along this long trip.
