Greeks, Cornflowers and Cattle

Debbie wanted to make a stop at a greek bakery that she and Andy have gotten things from in the past.  She had the address and we headed there.  It was just a few blocks from downtown Denver and close to the Denver Zoo.  We went in and it was a cute little place that reminded us all of European cafes.  Debbie ordered a bunch of things to ship home and we ordered pastries and coffee to eat in.  It was a really nice breakfast.  We then had a most uneventful day driving as it was just straight roads, flat land and more corn.  I have now seen corn in every state since leaving Tennessee.  We stopped just before Kansas to have a quick lunch at a drive thru and saw the goat below.  He was tied to a picnic table outside the Pizza Hut and it was our wildlife highlight of the day.   When we finally crossed over the state line to Kansas I was disappointed to find no state sign to photograph until we got to the visitor center 20 miles away.  Sandra I forgot to tell you that I have seen lots of sunflowers along with the corn on this trip and at the visitors center in Kansas they gave us a package of sunflowers seeds!  We also passed some of the biggest cattle ranches I have ever seen.  We are in cattle country now.  We went to dinner at the Dodge House next to our hotel and Kay wasn't feeling well so she got her dinner to go and Debbie and I sat and enjoyed ours.

The goat was tied to the picnic bench at Pizza Hut..he opted for the tree instead of pizza.
