Pueblo is the county seat of Pueblo County. This Courthouse was built in 1919, wonder how they had enough tax money to build something this elaborate. Surely they didn't arrest and fine that many miners.
And lout in the lawn on the right in the upper picture is the Rose garden in the lower picture. The smell was great.
But wait, before we found the park we ran into a PARADE, we have done this twice in our
wandering
Below is an old Pueble Fire engine.
A float with dancers!!!
Wendy's old truck
No parade is complete without Horses
Marching bands and cheerleaders
A beautiful Mexican float complete with dancers. They got a lot of attention.
More bands
But this one took the cake. Can you guess what this is? I could not. It is the base of a wind mill used in the wind farms. I was amazed at the size of it. This thing is humungous
There is a Vespas Company located just south of town. The company is out of Denmark
These sections are 70 feet long and some are 14 ft in diameter. that is six feet wider than this motor home. They stack these things three high, up to 325 feet in the air. Add the propellers and a generator and one can furnish the electricity for 1400 average homes. It is something to see.
Thanks for coming along and reading the log.

cool parade Jack and Sherry!! always love a good one!! seems like there was a lot of variety in it too!

I love a parade and we completely forgot to go to our Cowboy homecoming parade last week. Those wind thingys are really big. One time I saw one of the blades being carried on a truck and I though it was an airplane wing. Take care you two.
I almost forgot, we went to the olive Garden for soup and salad after the parade!!! Pleasant end to the day!
Thank you once again for the colour during the night over here. Being many times to Denmark, as it is close to home, the sight of those wind mills is know. They are indeed huge, yet not making a lot of noise. Makes one wonder why there aren't many more across the world.
Please have you all a good and safe start into the new week.
That walk was much better than the last for sure. What a beautiful place. Those windmills seem to be really popular and spring up all over the place. I've never seen one around here yet. It looks like you are having some beautiful weather. Take care!
What beautiful flowers. What a treat to see
a parade. We only get to see them at Christmas.
Glad you found a better place to walk. Be careful on your trip to Utah. Say Hello to
everyone in Utah.

I to love a parade. Have not been to one in years. Love the pictures. Those flowers were right down my alley. Joe fixed the microwave. Will have to get a picture of his genius.
I'm glad you found a safer place to walk! It's also a very pretty place. Seeing you pictures and reading your notes makes me feel like I'm there with you. Safe travels to Utah!
What a colorful trip you are having...flowers, the Pueblo parade, awesome stuff...keep on traveling safe and having a grand old time. Hey Sherry, I finally got back to the cabin long enough to read your entry in our journal....you are too kind with your words and heart and we love you both like the dickens...so tickled, still, to have hugged your necks in person.
BlessYourHearts
