Denver, the mile high city

It's nice to get a proper nights sleep after *shudder* Casper. We didn't get a free breakfast at this hotel, but after the delicious meal last night we were pretty good to get wondering and grab some munchies in town.

Our hotel is just outside of the main centre of the city, so we knew it would be a bit of a wonder into town. Thankfully our GPS has an on-foot feature, so I programmed into it all of the sights we wanted to see today and it became our own personal tour guide :)



On our walk in we went straight through the university campus for the city. I think we looked young and trendy enough to blend in - I was tempted to head along to a few lectures...

Alex has been after some new flip-flops for a while now, so we had a THRILLING time shopping for shoes ;)



I made a purchase myself of a new 4GB SD card which we'll be using to capture more memories when our digital camera gets full up THEN once we get home we'll use it in our new digital photo frame (Amazing DOUBLE benefit!!)



The memory cost about £10, fantastic! The downside is the physical and mental trauma I suffered getting the bleeding thing out of the packaging!!!



Denver is a lovely city, full of trees, coffee house lined streets and plenty to see and do. For lunch we had a big choice of treats, but in the end went to Taco Bell. Which I've wanted to try out since I heard about it in Demolition Man - At the time Chris Rogers had to explain the joke to me, being my American expert as a young man! We got a Taco each and a Pepsi, costs less than £5 for all that. Bargain :)



Walking around we kept getting asked to vote by a bunch of people who were hanging round the city with clipboards. In hindsight perhaps we should have registered and helped shape the future of the country!

After lunch we thought we'd take a break from culture and watch something at the cinema - Pineapple Express - we LOL'd :D



To round off the day we had an Indian meal, as part of our mission to try the worlds cuisine in America!



Tomorrow we hit the road again... to somewhere else I can't remember at the moment!
