My last two days in Beautiful Colorado

On my next to last day we went to Boulder. I loved it there, so many cute gift shops, outdoor cafes and taverns. It's a busy town lots of traffic and so many people, but so much fun. As with all our trips the views were spectacular, but this was the first time we saw horses.

These are some of the pictures

 this was the view as we approached Boulder.

My favorite gift shop, I bought a figurine of a fairy. I know I'm a baby I still love fairies.

I found a sign post, I look kind of glum, guess it was seeing how far I was from London. I don't know Kilometers, but it seemed like a big distance.

Last picture in Boulder Karen and I both like frogs. We didn't kiss this one, but it was cute.

Next day we went to Estes National Park. They had an event going on, The Highland games. We decided we didn't want to spend 25.00 each to attend so I settled for a picture of a man in his kilt. There was a beautiful hotel up on the side of the mountain. I would have like to get closer to it, but there's only so much we can do in one day.

The hotel, I don't know what it's name is, but I think it should be a red roof inn?













Here's my lone Scotsman.

This was the little river running through the town, I would never dream the pictures that I would I see the week I came back. The river was in many of the flood pictures that were on television.  

Izzy my grand dog loved this part of the town. There were little children and pet dogs splashing in the water. Everyone there seemed intrigued with Izzy, she is a Rhodesian Ridge back. Karen now has a group of friends that have ridge backs. I think she should ask if any of their dogs could open a garage door? Not that I'm bragging on my grand dog or anything. 

We drove home and Karen decided we should have my farewell dinner in downtown Denver. We went to Wynekoop's. It's one of the oldest brew pubs in Colorado. They had fish and chips, Oh! happy day. My turn for fish and chips, I can't even remember what Karen ate. They served 3 beers for 4.50, I thought that must be a lot of beer. It was sample size beers, about 4 oz glasses, and you could sample any 3 of a good sized selection.

In the foyer was a bronze sculpture of a gorilla, so as we left, Karen picked his nose, and I just rested on him. I look pretty worn out. It was worth it to see all the wonderful things that I saw in my 10 day visit.
