denver

when ronnie and i made our way

over the river and through the plains

we stopped in denver for two days.

i had never really spent any significant time there

and it was fun to explore the city.

five things i loved:
1) their green initiative for bike riding.  they have little bike terminals all over the city, so once ronnie and i parked at the hotel, we literally never got back in it until we were ready to leave.  it was a great way to get around.

2) 16th street mall.  it is a shopping - restaurant dream.  the street is lined with both and the "road" is made for walking and not cars.  we spent a whole day discovering it all.

3) the city park.  we rode our bikes to it and around the lake.  it gives you a great view of downtown.

4) laramie square

5) our rooftop pool
