Are We in Albi or Denver?

Are we in Albi (France) or Denver?

After a long day of travel, airports and sitting in the last row of plane to Denver (not a good seat), we made it to Denver by mid-afternoon. Coming from the airport, Art wanted to show me where he lived on Lowry Air Force Base 30 years ago, only to discover that things have changed quite a bit. The AFB is no longer there but we drove by and got a glimpse of how the area has built up.



In Denver, we walked around 16th Street and found a great French Bistro called "Vendome" tucked away in a little cove off Larimer Street. Excellent meal, good wine and wonderful mango-pineapple-cheesecake crepes !!!!



The excitement is building for Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Estes Park tomorrow!
