On the Fourth, we rode our bicycles through the city's dedicated bike paths to City Park where the big fireworks show was to take place. We arrived just as the Fort Collins Symphony began their program of patriotic and Western music. They concluded with the 1812 Overture, leading into a surprisingly long and impressive display of fuegos artificiales.



The next day, we went to Old Town for coffee with some friends, then planned a swim in the river that runs through the North end of town at a swimming hole we read about. However, when we asked some tubing folks how the water was, they all said it was REALLY cold, and after we confirmed this by sticking our hands in it we decided to wait for a hotter day.



Nice walk, anyway.
