Day four we left Santa Fe, New Mexico and headed north on I25 towards Denver, Colorado. We are hoping to make it all the way to Loveland which is about 40 minutes north of Denver. It is also where my colelge roomate Jamie Lang is based. She and her husband Jeremy are missionaries to Tanzania and Kenya (http://www.nowjdrl.blogspot.com/). We drove all day passing thousands of acres of ranches and only stopped for late lunch in Trinidad just north of the New Mexico/Colorado border.
Trinidad is a quaint old fashioned town. Its history is filled with personality. Lunch at "The Cafe" was delicious and we met some great people. The Cafe is located inside the Danielson Dry Goods store. (Photos to follow). We had a chance to chat with the lady who ran the bakery. She told us about a mission trip she had gone on called Charity Water, where they go and dig wells for the villages in Africa. She was excited to meet other Christians and hear about other people we knew on the mission field.
When we left Trinidad, CO the temperature was dropping and a black storm wall was looming to the west. We drove north on Interstate 25 through Denver, pulling into Loveland around nine. We were referred to a local restaurant called McGraff's were I highly recommend the London Broil or the Nachos. Declan has decided to become a big boy and declined the high chair. He now sits in his own seat with his own plate.
