Vail, Colorado
We went to check out the town of Vail today while we give our legs a rest before another hike tomorrow. I was surprised by Vail, first because of how small the “town center” is, and second because of how beautiful it is. It looks like an alpine village. I loved looking at all the buildings, and all the flowers were overflowing their pots and baskets and were so colorful–and they had flowers everywhere. We walked west to the LionsHead area where the Eagle Bahn Gondola is. We may go up in that later in the week and hike down the mountain–maybe! LionsHead is also very European looking and I walked around gazing at all the buildings–beautiful! I’m not sure what the vacationers here do to keep busy in the summer, though, if they aren’t a hiker. But it is beautiful…
