16th Street Mall | Life on a Colorado Farm

We left on the train (a slow train, but I enjoyed it)

It was our first and probably only train trip, but it was fun. We saw things we can’t see on interstate and we got to not worry about traffic or bad weather.

Then we spent the night on the top floor of the Embassy Suits and walked around the 16th Street Mall, rode the little train from one end to the other of the mall and ate at fun little restaurants.

We weren’t far from Invesco Field! Although, I train station was right across from Coors Field. The railroad is remodeling Union Station and had moved the temporary station across from the Coors Field.

We got back on the Train the next day and headed home. A long trip home 8 hours each way, when we can drive it in 5…but a treat!

Now back to regularly scheduled life!

The next night found us in Denver. Terry had a meeting he had to go to and I thought I would enjoy having a break.

First Independence Pass then a canyon of very tall buildings… skyscrapers they are called (as all of you know).

We had a room fairly close to the 16th Street Mall so we were able to walk over there.

Now DO NOT laugh at me, but I get lost in places like that….all the buildings look the same, there are vehicles EVERYWHERE, and tons of people from all walks of life.

I had it in my head that I would walk around and take some pretty cool city shots…I didn’t make it. Two blocks to the mall, one block one way and then one block the other way is about all I could do or I would have been hopelessly turned around and not able to get back to the hotel.

I admire all of you who live and work and can function in large and giant cities.

We had snow on the passes, but not too bad.

I’m just glad we are home. (I don’t get lost in land around here or on the forest areas…just in concrete jungles, I guess.—I know, rather sad.)
