At one point she tried to text me and found her phone missing. She continued shopping, thinking it was in the car. Back at the car no phone. Oh well, it was probably at the motel. Now she begins to worry, which means we head back to find it. A thorough search of the room equals no phone. Finally I call her and lo there's a ringing. The phone turns up in her makeup bag. She asks that we not speak about this incident again.
Next is lunch at Marigold's, where I once again have what I consider the best ever French Onion soup. After lunch we took a drive through part of the burn area not too far from our old home. It is amazing. We see an empty foundation with untouched homes on either side. Or a group of a dozen or more empty foundations. No partially burned homes. Just foundations. Scary looking stuff.
Heading over to the Garden of the Gods we found ourselves in the middle of the Folk Art Festival traffic jam. A slow escape got us to Manitou Spring, which turned out to be another traffic jam. What luck. We finally made our way to downtown Colorado Springs and a little more shopping. No damage this time.
Later we shared a chicken fajita and Dos Equis dinner at On The Border to end the day. Tomorrow will be our last day in The Springs and then off to Abilene for a visit to the Eisenhower Library.
