Denver and Boulder, Colorado

Before arriving in Denver, we drove through Colorado Springs and stopped by to have lunch at a beautiful location called “Garden of the Gods” (pictures below).

Denver and Boulder: Not much to say about either place. We slept very well, thanks again to Inna. We woke up around 8:30, in part (or all) due to the crying baby next door. Aleksey jumped on the computer to figure out some of his finances while I went to 7/11 to buy the most expensive apple, orange, and 2 bananas ever. We walked around Denver, a nice city, albeit a huge amount of homeless people. We took very few pictures mainly because Aleksey’s camera broke in while walking the streets in Denver. We believe that sand from the great sand dunes was the culprit. Aleksey still plans on opening it up and trying to fix it; I think that’s a good idea.

We left Denver and arrived in Boulder 30 minutes later. It is a college town, with a very college feel; A LOT of people ride their bikes in this town. I treated Aleksey to some Vietnamese Pho soup: he liked it. We stopped by a buddy’s house to say “hello” and then walked Pearl Street Mall, a few blocks of restaurants, art shops and street performers. After this, we went produce shopping, finished our left over Pho soup for dinner and drove over to Rocky Mountain National Park.
