Beautiful very active vacation! Closing rings on Apple Watch! Images are from when we were in Vail, mountain streams everywhere. Joining Cornelia and John in Aspen tomorrow. Concert featuring Ravel on Friday evening at Aspen Music Festival. Dinner afterwards with Anton Nel!

Cornelia has us going at fast pace! Hiked mountains! Barely time to fix up much! Lovely visit then dinner with the brilliant engaging&fun concert pianist Anton Nel. Enjoyed pre-concert performed by his students. He is much at home this summer on faculty of Aspen Music Festival.

Wanting to share the natural beauty of this walking trail in Vail! We are enroute to Betty Ford Botanic Garden.
