Hello, everyone.
Wow! I can't believe I've been in Denver for 2 months now. My recruiter called me this week to ask where I want to go next. I'm still enjoying travel nursing. Best vacation to ever have. Work 3 days, and play for 4. Of course, since it's getting closer for me to leave, and I need to save for my trip to my parents, I'm working 4 days and sightseeing a little on the other 3 days. After Denver, I'm going to meet up with my parents on 12/16 in Sedona, AZ for a week, then make our way up to Vegas. I should be at my next assignment on Jan 9. Sorry I haven't put anymore pics up yet. It's still in my camera. I haven't done much sightseeing since my parents went back home few weeks back.
My friend Cesilia and I went to Crystal Lake, close to Pine Grove, CO, last week. It was nice. Calm and beautiful. What made the trip more entertaining was Pine Grove. You've heard people say "if you blink, you'll miss it."? Well, we did. We saw the sign "Welcome to Pine Grove, Pop:? ," saw a couple buildings, then "Thanks for coming." Well..., not exactly like that, but their volunteer fire department was a cabin, and their Restaurant& Bar was also their liquor store. The best one yet was their gas station that you'll have to see for yourself when I download the pics. All in all, if you love the quiet mountain terrain and love to live life outdoors, this is the best place to be. Not far from hiking/biking trails or the ski resorts. The ONE restaurant they have there is pretty good as well. If you ever find yourself in Pine Grove, CO, check out Zokas Restaurant & Bar.
Right now, it's time to decide where to go next. I've been going back and forth on where to go to next after Denver for months now, then decided to just be still and hear where the Lord wants me to go next. (I'd rather go where the Lord is during my travel nursing adventures, than going on my own. Safer that way) I guess the next destination is Austin, TX. I don't know why, but I'm going.
My niece Maria said that there's a lot of live music there, and I'll be there in the winter, so it shouldn't be that bad, right? I've been thinking about going there before to see why Maria is so eager to go back to Austin, TX, but I talked myself out of it many times.
I do miss San Diego and La Jolla Cove. In Seattle, I was surrounded by bays and Puget Sound that I wasn't that homesick. Living in the midwest area, I've noticed that there's not that many large bodies of water around to imagine I'm close to S.D., especially in Denver. Is there a lake or large river in Austin I can visit while I'm there? (I think I'm starting to whine.) I hope to return to San Diego for a few days in the spring, and maybe a little longer in the summer (3 months).
Well, that's the update for now. I'll keep you posted on where I'll work next.
Love,
Leona
