hey guys, beautiful country around here. we went to the chapel hills mall and did some shopping earlier. saw the turnoff to both the usaf acadamy and garden of the gods. we plan on checking them out if time allows. i have not rented a car and taking cabs will bleed me dry soon i fear. i did hear tha fargos is excellent so i plan on eating there tomorrow maybe. i would love to visit with someone but even if i were to rent a car i dont know diddly about the area. having fun so far though. thanks again for the suggestions on what to see.
