Tues 5/6 – 12538 steps
We left Boulder early to get Dave’s bike back to Denver to be packed and sent to San Francisco. Word of advice, you cannot send an e-bike battery with your bike, so we had to take that on the train and will have to send it separately when we fly home. Thanks again to Nadine for all your organization in this regard.
Our hotel was kind enough to store luggage, so we dropped it off and David drove out to the airport to return the car. I waited for him at Union Station, catching up on my writing, drinking good coffee and watching the people. Such an interesting, wonderful place.
On Nadine’s recommendation we went for lunch at Sams number 3. It is a huge diner, goes from one end of the block to another and it is very busy with what seem to be locals which is always a good sign. I had “moms meatloaf with roast veg” and David had fish and calamari combo. Huge portions, I only managed half of mine! David is eating like a horse – finished his and the rest of mine. Bit like Mike and Donne long ago. If you ever in Denver, it is worth a visit.
In the afternoon, for our cultural fix, we headed off to the Colorado History Museum, which I loved. No yellow buses!
There was an awesome Lego display. I don’t know why, but I love Lego.
David enjoyed the baseball display, but I only knew 2 names – Babe Ruth and Jo DiMaggio. It was well put together if you like that stuff. I found the 100 real life artifacts that define Colorado’s history a lot more interesting.
In the evening, we were both tired, but I insisted if you go to Denver, you have to see Larimer Square. So we set off to have dinner there. It is a very pretty area, all lit up with fairy lights, filled with upmarket restaurants and shops. And well-groomed people, we called them Yuppies in the old days, not sure what they are called now, maybe young money. We left.We headed back to the Thirsty Lion gastropub. This is really not a blog about food, but I have to mention that for $12, I had a starter that consisted of 5 prawns grilled in bacon on a bed of coleslaw and for $30, David had a 12 ounce rib eye steak which he reckons was the best meal we have had so far.
What I learnt: It is not surprising that USA has an obesity problem, despite the supermarket shelves being jam-packed with low fat everything.
