US Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs

The weather was chilly today. Several inches of snow fell on Pike's Peak yesterday, so it seems that we toured it just in time. We were among the few guests at the Hampton Inn near the US Air Force Academy last night. We showed up at the Academy shortly after it opened to visitors at 9 this morning, and the campus was quietly enveloped in fog. The grounds are lovely and beautifully maintained.

We watched the film, which seems more like a recruitment video than information for visitors to the Academy. We did meet a few cadets as we wandered between the Visitors' Center and the chapel, and were very impressed by their professionalism and welcoming attitude toward visitors. The chapel, in particular, was particularly lovely, with worship space for all religions. I would love to hear a concert in the main non-denominational chapel.
