Denver Fun!

Downtown Denver turned out to be a delightful place with lots to see and do and a bright  welcoming atmosphere. Watching the city come awake in the canyon of skyscrapers is so different than watching the sun rise over Mancos Valley!  I loved the pedestrian shopping mall that ran a mile in front of the hotel.  Half the fun was finding the shops as many were hidden away in the multistory buildings without much on the street signage.   Starbucks reigned supreme with at least one on every corner!    Highlight of the week was spending time with three great people. . my sweetheart  , his son and meeting Tom's sister-in-law for the first time (the smiling group shown in the  picture).  I had to have a picture of the giant blue bear that peers in the window at the convention center  and the last picture is of the mile of shops that I enjoyed.   I had visions of a dark and scary inner city and the visit to Denver was certainly not that and such a nice surprise! sf
