Layover Day, Good Eats

The weather tonight was forecast to be possible snow showers in the Denver area – our next destination.  The campground we are in is a bit remote but has good WIFI and TV reception and is midway between Pueblo and Penrose, site of one of our goals.  So, wait a day before going north.

Morning was cold and clear.  Gave the sun a couple of hours to warm things and then into Pueblo to shop and sightsee.  Visited a quilt shop, walked historic downtown, and made the loop around Pueblo’s river walk. Plan was to be something like San Antonio River Walk but turned into more of a open park and path around a river shaped lake.  A few restaurants but mostly open space.  Nice park walk in the middle of downtown.  Lots of people out taking advantage of nice fall day.

Back west past our campground and on to Penrose.  Our daughter-in-law’s mother and step dad operate a small restaurant there.  Home style cooking.  No themes or ethnicities, just very good basic home cooking and baking.  Name of restaurant is Gooseberry Patch and gooseberry pie is among offerings.  If you have occasion to go through Penrose, CO go to the Gooseberry Patch for a meal.  You will not be disappointed.
