DAY 3 JUNE 14 (THURS) ALBUQUERQUE, NM TO COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

Not going to mention again that I am worthless as a traveling/driving companion.  In Colorado Springs stop 1st & visit my 95 yr old Aunt Edie.  She lives in assisted living place–we go to her room & she is working cross word puzzles to keep her mind sharp.  She has picture of 12 kids in my dad’s family–she can name them all.  She has 2 pictures of her w/an Elvis impersonator.  Her daughter Gloria (my cousin) comes in & we all go out to eat w/Edie in the lead.  Gloria has stage 4 cancer in colon & liver–looks great.  She is still taking chemo treatments & will not be able to go to the family reunion in Canada–really nice to see both of them.  End up spending night at Super 8–near biking trail.
