Upon our departure from the Grand Canyon we headed eastnortheast and drove through, yes, more snow! Crazy! Are we supposed to be witnessing this much snow at the end of May? Eventually the weather cleared and we landed in Santa Fe, New Mexico for an overnighter. Santa Fe has done a remarkable job creating a downtown area that is culturally reflective of its Indian heritage through its architecture, food, atmosphere, shopping, etc. We would definitely enjoy an extended visit to further explore the area.
We landed in Denver on Sunday afternoon - just in time to enjoy more cold, wet weather! Is it following us?! We were graciously welcomed into Christine's home (my sister-in-law-long-time-dear-friend) even with our wet, smelly, furry, four-legged traveling companion. The next week was a flurry of activity including Memorial Day BB-Q, Elijah's (one of my 5 great nephews) birthday party and piano recital, and more fantastic food, family & friends.
Oh, and did I mention that Paul finally had a job contract offer from Swedish Hospital in Englewood? He spent most of the week in contract negotiations, start date changes, testing, document faxing/signing/finalizing, etc. In the end it all worked out and we decided that it was a good plan to head toward Denver even though we didn't really have a job until after we arrived!
We found a funny, quirky, tiny little 100+ year old house to rent for the summer. It is about a mile from the hospital (save gas - walk to work) and our landlord is the pastor of the church with which we share a backyard!
And so the next adventure begins...
