Day 68 - Last day in Colorado Springs, CO

We drove to the Broadmoor Hotel, pictured here, to see it and to have lunch. I don't remember ever being there, but Gary was there on business several years ago. It is a 5-star hotel with beautiful grounds and public areas -- the lobby, the restaurants, etc. Our lunch was in a conservatory-like area with lots of plants and flowers, covered by glass which was good because we had thunderstorms off and on all day, a typical event in the Colorado mountains. It was a way above average lunch!

While at the restaurant we saw Lynn Redgrave, seated at another table with several other people. She is currently appearing in a play here at the Colorado Festival of World Theatre. Peter Shaffer (author of Equus and Amadeus) is being honored at this year's festival. We thought maybe we saw him at the table, too. We wish we had known about this theater series going on right now - we would certainly have gotten tickets.
But we found out about it too late because we are going to Denver tomorrow.
