The Mile High City



We may have been a little ways outside of downtown Denver, but the light rail was definitely an adventure.  This makes it my forth type of new transportation that I have taken since the start of tour! 


Learning new things! It was a successful trip, however we did have to sprint to catch the train home since it was a street over and we were just getting there as it was getting ready to leave.  We made it just in the knick of time!


Then, it was back to downtown Denver again to do some more exploring the next day. 


If you want a really cute place to shop and have a variety of choices for food, then I would definitely suggest the 16th Street Mall; three stories of outdoor shops and places to eat! The Hard Rock Café, Coyote Ugly, small boutiques, and a variety of other shops are there!


A few streets down from the mall was a really cute area, called Larimer Square.  There were strings of lights overhanging the streets, at least two colleges and universities in the area, boutiques, special eateries, and the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!  Of course, I had to get some sweets J  


It was so nice to get out and enjoy the sun especially with a Dairy Queen right down the street! Oh, that was so yummy and definitely hit the spot after a run through the Cherry Creek State Park across the street.  There was even a beach! It definitely wasn’t the kind of state park that was heavily wooded that I am used to, but it was a nice escape away from the city life and to see open land and listen to the flow of the water. 


Our time has come though, to move on after a heavy week of shows and continue going up in elevation!



 See you there!
