Colorado Springs

Sorry for missing a post yesterday, it was really an uneventful day. I drove the car to the rental place, and maybe my way to LAX. It was recommended that I be there 3hrs early because of the lineups at security.. well it took me 7mins, and that includes 5mins of me searching for my passport. The flight was nice, not much turbulence. As we flew across California, Arizona, Utah and Colorado I was able to catch a glimpse of the Hoover and Glen Canyon Dams. Quite the sight even at 13000 feet. The only excitement was when we landed and emergency crews needed to board to plane to care for a passenger. The wheeled her our in a wheelchair, hope she's ok. Colorado Springs is 1.6Kms above sea level and you can get winded pretty fast.

Today it was Columbus day and from what I can tell around here no one celebrates it. I was lucky enough to go golfing, it was a very nice course and even though I didn't have my clubs or shoes I did ok. Was nice to golf in October and not have to be bundled up. The few days will be the most intense just because of where I am. Don't expect too many photos, I will send you Wikipedia links afterwards so you get an idea of what I'm talking about.
