Part deux

after the spooky tour, we came back to Ft. c and went to Old Town.  Always a fun time with lots to see, but it was packed that day!  We ended up over at the Rio Cantina for dinner and drinks.  i always get the same thing there.  their beef fajitas are to die for.  not to mention the margaritas that have a three drink limit! 

the next a.m., we got up and went for a ride with our friends that we hadn't seen in ages.  i was a bit leery to do so.  let's just say that since our MS ride, i hadn't been exactly jumping on the bike every day.  i was just done with it for a while.  this ride was GREAT though.  we went up Poudre canyon and had a nice relaxing, uphill climb, then a FAST downhill.  it was great! 

we then went for a breakfast at snooze!  this is one of my favorite places in fort collins, recently.  it has local products, a lot of them, organic and everything is just good.  so good, in fact, that i will wait for an hour to get in, which we did. 

we had to get ready though, because the eating was just beginning...we went to fogo de chao for dinner.  yes, it's a chain, and yes, you eat more than your share of a small cow.  but, oh my gosh, is it good.  i had been tempted throughout the day to just get the salad bar....then i got there, decided i would be eternally mad for that...and i ate a lot of meat. 

it was the perfect weekend.  many times people come out with the intent to move here.  we end up disenchanted after some visits.  just, we don't get along with the people as much as we thought we did...or we'd probably not see them a lot if they moved here.  this was not one of those times.  it was the perfect match of people.  we would love nothing more to have them here...although, i don't know that's in the cards...but at least now, i can know, that this friendship is true and it's real and i don't have to wonder if we would be friends if we lived in the same place.
