Dave wasn't feeling up to par on Saturday so we decided to go to the San Luis Valley Museum in town. It was a small museum, but had some interesting exhibits, I will included a picture of a wagon used by one of the first settlers to bring his family to Alamosa and a pic of the classroom they have set up inside the museum. We had a lovely chat with one of the docents and told her that we would send them some scratch pens to exhibit in the inkwells on the desks. We then ran some errands and came home for lunch. Dave took a nap while Louise and I went for a walk with the dogs. In the late afternoon, we went out to Monte Vista to the wildlife refuge and saw hundreds of cranes coming in to roost for the evening. It was really quite amazing. We drove up to Monte for dinner at the Mouintain View Restaurant and then drove home and watched a movie about birding called The Big Year. It was actually pretty good.
Dave still wasn't feeling great this morning so Louise and I went to Zapata Falls. We drove about 4 miles up a dirt road and then had to hike about 1/4 mile on an ice covered path from 9000 feet elevation to 9400 feet. The views along the path were awesome. The falls were inside of a granite walled canyon. The falls were completely frozen, but I think they were all the more beautiful because of that. We could hear the water flowing underneath the ice. When we got back, Louise called in a Z-pack prescription for Dave as it sounds like he is coming down with bronchitis again. We will have leftovers for dinner tonight and then we may watch another movie. It is overcast and cloudy today. The forecast was for rain, but the sun did come out for a bit this afternoon so I'm not sure that we will see the rain.
