We had a delicious homemade breakfast and then headed off to Vail which is a famous ski resort. Temperature was round 46 degrees F and went up to about 66 degrees F. The sights on the way were awesome and reminded me of our trips to Austria when we went skiing.
We arrived at Vail and wondered around the town square. Most of the shops were shut – having closed 2 weeks ago and they only open again during June and July. These are just a few pictures taken while walking.
Had a yummy milkshake …
From there we travelled up to Breckenridge which is a famous ski resort. Oh, wow, this place was beautiful and again all the ski slopes were closed and most of the shops were closed as well. We stopped at a parking stop and ate the remainder of last night’s pizza for lunch and this is the town below us.
The next stop was in a village called Fair Play where they had a historic village, but we couldn’t go in as it was closed, but we took the pictures!!

We eventually got back to our cottage, having decided this morning that we were going to stay there another night. We packed our suitcases and then went to the Silver Dollar Saloon for a drink before having dinner.
At the recommendation of our cottage hostess we went to Zichittella’s Italian restaurant. Dereck and I had Italian sausage pasta, Sue had lasagna and Doug had a pasta dish with chicken and broccoli. All very yummy, but much too much and we could only manage about half of it.
Walked back to our cottage with the temperature at 42 degrees F (which is about 5 degrees C).

These little ski villages are just beautiful. The scenery is just amazing. Still can't believe those huge portion sizes ... does the average America really finish those? Hugs from Desire
Enjoyed this post as I have the others.
Hope you arrived safely in the UK for the good weather
