Our Hotel in North Colorado Springs |
This part of Colorado Springs is right next to the US Air force Training Academy and throughout the day single engine aircrafyt are taking off and doing bumps and then off again. In the background people are jumping out of aeroplanes and parachuting back to terra-firma. Its fun to watch and so we did for quite some while.
We have been planning the next few days of our trip now that we have had time to think and we are heading a short way south tomorrow to Pueblo via down town Colorado Springs where we understand there is an historic old town which is worth seeing. We have planned also to visit an Aircraft Museum and a river walk by the Arkansas River. We then head eat on route 50 to cowboy land in the shape of Dodge City where we hope to meet up some gun toting sheriff's...

Some times the American and the Brits what caused the issues in Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq and learn from the Swiss how to stay neutral, don't invade another's country or dictate how foreigners should live. Incidentally every minute of the day the TV is full of advertising by each side of the political agenda for the forthcoming US elections and in one of Romney's adverts they show how the US has fallen down the financial calender and at the top of the list is, wait for it, Switzerland. Perhaps he should watch his own adverts and have a better understanding how you can keep the country rich and the peasants happy.
As I think most politicians are useless and a waste of space I have no opinion who should win the White House as it really doesn't matter as nothing will change anyway irrespective of the hundred's of millions of dollars spent on the adverts where this money could be spent more wisely.
Its is very sad to see the effect of 'SANDY' on the East Coast where it has reeked devastation to an unimaginable level. Lets see if they get this sorted quicker than they did New Orleans
