Vail

Sorry you haven't heard from me for several days but we have been really busy during the day and have gotten in so late at night that I have been too sleepy to write.

John and Susanna kept us busy all week. Tuesday saw John, John, Jack, Lanny and Mary riding mountain bikes down Vail Mtn. Katy, Susanna and I chose not to bike but to hike. John found this to be pretty exciting and also challenging. It's one of those experiences that he is glad he participated in but not something he will willing do by himself. We chose to cook at the condo and had a lovely salmon dinner. Late night.

Wednesday was a golfing day at Eagle Ranch Golf Course in Eagle CO. It was pretty cloudy that morning but cleared up by late morning. A good day of golf even if our scores didn't reflect that. After lunch, the guys went over to our campsite with John and us girls went shopping. We had supper at The Sweet Basil restaurant in Vail that was fabulous! I highly recommend this establishment.

Thursday is fishing day. We all went fly fishing from boats on the Colorado River! Well, almost everyone. I appointed myself the official photographer and did not fish. These were 3 man pontoon rafts -- 2 fishing and the guide rowed the boat while giving tips on how and where to fish. John had 5 good hits but no catches. Susanna was the only lady to catch any fish and all the other guys caught at least 3 each. Fun day. Just as we got back to the RV around 5 it started raining and has been raining off and on since. Good time for sleeping!
