FollowTheLeBarons: The Mile High City

The past few days in Denver have been quite relaxing and fun. On Tuesday (day two) we visited Kiel's Great Aunt Mary and Second Cousin, Ray. Ray welcomed us into his home and gave us a little tour of the area, specifically Red Rocks. We took a hike around the amphitheater and Alyssa got a chance to perform on stage, although not too many people seemed to be interested.

That evening we met up with Sarah and Scott, friends from San Francisco who relocated to Denver. We ate at Linger Eatuary, a restaurant with a morbid history. Linger, formerly Olinger, was once a famed mortuary and briefly held the remains of Buffalo Bill. The food and ambiance was surprisingly fantastic and we had a nice time catching up with friends.

Day three afforded us with a glutinous brunch at Bacon Social House, a stroll around the LoDo district, and topped off with a Rockies game - the first of five baseball games on this leg of the tour. We didn't catch too much flack for wearing our Giants hats at the game; the Denver crowd in general was extremely welcoming and reminded us of a less crowded, safer San Francisco. The biggest shock was finding parking downtown multiple times and only paying a $1/hr at the meter...what was not to like about this city?! We definitely liked the vibe here and would gladly return.
