That’s right, the sign says Welcome to Colorful Colorado when it should say Leaving Colorful Colorado, to help illustrate the theme of this blog post. I am at the airport in Denver and saw this painting. I assumed I could find the companion painting with a Leaving Colorful Colorado sign. No such luck. You will need to use your imagination on this one.
It is 2:00 PM and the flight to Copenhagen, with a short layover in Iceland, leaves at 4:50 PM. It has been 48 years since my one and only trip to Denmark. The summer after my freshman year of high school I spent part of the summer with my grandparents, Marinus and Marie, in Denmark, and part of the summer with my grandfather Carl and his extended family in Germany. What an adventure that was, and a real growing experience, literally. The before and after pictures document that I grew so much over that summer that my clothes did not fit when I got back to Springfield. I was wearing the highest of high water pants when I got off the plane back in the good old U. S. of A.
I am now 48 years older and probably no wiser. I just hope I don’t grow out of my clothes on this trip.
Abe and I want to give a big shoutout, hug and kiss to Jan for taking us out to the airport. Abe, Jan and I go way back.

The next post will be tomorrow from Copenhagen.
I hope everyone has a restful Labor Day weekend.

Michelle and I made a brief visit there. We need to spend a full day and take advantage of the town sometime.

Yes. You need at least a full day to take advantage of all the town has to offer.
