We finally arrived in Denver around noon. We have been staying with our good friends Elina, her boyfriend Todd, and their 2 Dogs (Katherine & Ray Liotta), and 2 Cats (Stinky & Weasel). Thursday we had a tour of the city, ate at a great vegetarian restaurant, and drank really cheap pitchers of sangria ($10 for two pitchers, INCREDIBLE!!).
In the evening we walked around Broadway where there was loud music of all kinds coming from every open bar. Lots of hipsters and dirt surfers spilling out onto the street. It seemed to us that the cool thing to do was to be outside of the bar on the street than inside with the bands.
We spent the rest of the night at Elina and Todd's friends backyard. Drinking beer and discussing the high quality 80's cartoons we all loved (Jem,Shirttails).
Friday we ventured off to Boulder which had a completely different feel than Denver. Truly a college town. There is even a creek that goes through town where residents can rent tubes and leisurely float their way through the city. We ate at a fantastic Tibetan tea house and ventured into the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art where we saw a great collection of Wet Plate Photographs by Mark Sink.
That final evening was spent back on the hip street of Broadway, we had a birthday Ice Cream Social, and went to a friends house and played Apples to Apples late into the night.
