Jim & Janet


Day 26:

Thankfully, we were running a couple hours late coming into Denver, so I was able to have breakfast on the train. I sat with a really nice couple named Jim & Janet Meyer. We had a good time, and discovered we both had reserved cars at Denver, so we knew we would see each other there. As expected, we ran into each other at baggage claim. We had a 30 minute wait, and while we talked, I found out they attended Hershey Evangelical Free Church. I told them I lead worship at Pelican Bay, and that spurred great conversation. We got our bags and called Hertz, and we had another 30 minutes together to talk. It was a great morning, and I really enjoyed it.
I got my car, and had 8 hours to kill, so I drove around Denver a little. It is such a nice city. I decided to walk through the Denver Art Museum, and ended up spending the whole day there. I still didn't see everything, but I really enjoyed it. It rained on me when I left the museum. Remember I prayed for unseasonably cool weather for this trip? God answered. This whole time there was only one day that I considered kind of unbearable.
I met up with Mark & Sierra at their house in Highlands Ranch, and we had a great time catching up (I haven't seen them in 6 years).
The elevation is a bit of a problem. I feel pretty weak, and have a bad headache, but I know it will get better, and it could be much worse. I've known of people who end up in the hospital, so I'm thankful for just a headache that can be dulled with "drugs".
It's almost over ! :(
