Estes Park, Colorado... Day twenty one... Tuesday August 31, 2021

Popping out of bed... quick shower breakfast iced coffee ciabatta roll... the hubs enjoying his hot cup with cottage cheese & black pepper... sliced banana... raspberries & blueberries... and of course... water

Taking off to the recycling center... three huge boxes of paper... plastic... glass and cardboard to donate... stopping at the post office... priority flat rate boxes to pack... venturing into the jerky shoppe... the hubs splurging on smoked elk, smoked venison and spicy smoked beef jerky... the elk salty but a good chew

Back to the house... packed up all the goodies to ship home... quick lunch... mini wraps... ham, turkey and havarti mini wrap for the hubs... mini cheese quesadilla for yours truly... and of course... water

Driving up to the Stanley Hotel... landmark in Estes... famous Whiskey Bar at the Cascade... treating the hubs to a Sazerac... his favorite New Orleans cocktail walking the grounds... spectacular views... lovely gardens... pine maze... the interior a dazzling display of old world charm... plush oversize couches... stunning mahogany woodwork... elegant staircases... pocket doors... relaxed outside adjacent to a waterfall and pond midst lush plantings... delightful

Resurgence supper tonite... involto di carne... Sicilian style stuffed meatloaf with ham and cheddar... oven roasted mustard red potato wedges... crisp green salad with avocado in a mustard lime vinaigrette... Josh Cabernet and of course... water

Movie night Fried Green Tomatoes with Kathy Bates and Cecily Tyson... terrific movie... munching a few cheese doodles... another episode of Planet Earth off to bed... nighty night
