Drive to Mesa Verde

We got up, packed our goods, and got out of Grand Canyon National Park by 8:30am.  The crew really knows how to break camp now.  We hit the road and started the 5 hour or so drive.  We also lose an hour from Arizona to Colorado since Arizona doesn't use daylight savings.  We drove the Navajo reservation land and there were some nice views on some areas and just scrag desert in other areas.  We stopped in Kayenta at McDonalds to take advantage of wifi and eat.  We ran into these 3 guys who were bicycling from west coast across America to the east coast.  They were really interesting to talk with and have a blog!!

We decided we would follow them on the blog :)

We stopped in Cortez, CO at Walmart Supercenter to stock up on provisions and then it was only 9 miles to the camp ground.  Our two campsites are across from each other so we set the boys to setting up their own site while Jerry and I setup our side.  It was great to watch then from scratch work together to setup their own campsite without any help from us!  We were proud of them for the work they did.

For dinner, we had tacos and chips.  The boys finished up the evening playing some hacky sack.

We went over to El Yunque rain forest.  They have a visitor center, lots of hiking trails, and a few waterfalls to visit.  We did a quick road side lunch and there were some great times admiring the beauty of the area.

We slept to a "reasonable" hour and awoke to eat some breakfast.  Good old peanut butter and jelly on toast on the patio.  Weather is of course remarkable.  We did a 1.25 hour workout outside and then a quick jump into the pool to cool off.  Wow it felt good.  We then showered and put on the beach gear and headed down by the high rise district.  Parked and grabbed lunch at Salt and Pepper where we ate Tapas.  We had teriyaki chicken, bruschetta, leompia, Mahi Mahi, and bread.  Sangria was the drink of choice.  It was the perfect portion and very tasty.  We left lunch and headed to the beach where we enjoyed, powder white sand, nice breezes and beautiful crystal clear water.  It truly is amazing the water here.  Although the temperature outside is about 90 degrees, the breeze makes it feel cooler, and the water is not as warm as you would think.  Still a quick chill when you get in. We left the beach around 5pm and stop...
