Our route to date:



We are now in Pagosa Springs, CO. ("J" on Map)







We visited friends Mike and Car (Caroleen) whom we hadn't seen for years. Mike and I worked together for over ten years in Florida and we wouldn't have missed an opportunity to visit with them.

Pagossa Springs is a gorgeous place spanning elevations from 8000 to 12,500 feet. Mike is a pilot and took me up in his Glasaii aircraft that he built himself. What a treat. In a small aircraft you see with different eyes.

While Peter and Michael were out flying, and Car was sleeping, I took a gorgeous walk down their private road behind their house.  It was so beautiful and so quiet.  The only sounds were birds and the occasional clapping cricket.

Omg Linda and Peter !
I am so envious ! It must be wonderful - I can see it is nothing like Robin Williams in RV.... If you are still with Michael and Caroleen please say hello from me. Linda must have lived the art and sculpture along the way! Take care and keep us informed!
Regards

If you never come back, I understand.
Florida the home of Alzheimer's and alligators will miss you.
Can't wait till you get to Europe
Safe travels

MAGNIFICENT ( awesome would be the correct word, but these days "everything is awesome" and that word barely has meaning anymore
