Rest day, David went for a cycle and I did the washing and repacked bags for next leg of our journey. Then we went downtown and had brunch. I ate “Chicken fried steak” which is steak cooked like Kentucky (yum) and David had yet another burger. 16thStreet in Denver has a free bus that takes you from one end of town to the other. We hopped on and went to Denver civic centre and walked home via a market. So interesting, not just normal stands selling food and other crafts, but there were at least 3 alleys of political and cause driven stands. We drank fresh lemonade and sat on the grass listening to a band playing good country music.
We met Nadine for supper at an upmarket chain called Fogo de Chao where for $39 you can eat as much as you like. I had to rearrange the table as the side plate was on the right and did not feel comfortable. There was a soup, salad and veg, charcuterie and bread section and then waiters walk around with delicious skewered meats including rare roast lamb, grilled pichana, pork, ribs – no hamburger. They carve off pieces at your request and each is cooked to perfection. What a treat! We took a bicycle taxi ( like a rickshaw) home and I am sure the poor guy had to pedal extra hard to do to get us there.
Chuckles: people, people, people and dogs in hats.
What I learnt: Americans are crazy about their dogs. It seems like they take them with them wherever they go.
Oh, and to date, I still have not met one that voted for Trump. (Maybe the guy on the bench)
