Last Full Day

Yesterday, November 5, we spent our last full day away from home sightseeing. First, we woke up at a reasonable hour and had college breakfast at 8:30. Then we had a quick overview of the school and a mock lecture from Dr. King. After that, we had a tour of CCU and learned all about the 100 year old campus. Next, we left the campus and headed to the U.S. Olympic training center for an informational tour. 

We were able to see several of the training gyms of our very own US altheletes. After this, we withstood traveling up the mountain for about an hour in order to see Pike's Peak. At the altitude of 14,000 feet, the air was thinner and the temperature was below 20 with heavy winds. We enjoyed the views and withstood the cold until the gift shop closed and made our way down the mountain. Because we had more time than we had estimated, we were able to visit the 16th Street Mall to conclude our final day of sightseeing in the West.
