Despite Andy looking like a glam rock hamster (swollen face, purple and green eyes- the results of a broken nose due to impact with a softball), we went away as planned. We didn't manage to introduce Beth to the joys of camping because he didn't feel up to driving all the way to the national park on the first day so we stayed in a motel in Fort Collins. We got to Rocky Mountain the next day, and it's absolutely stunning. We drove the highest paved road in America (12000 ft), saw elk and a golden eagle and generally enjoyed not thinking about scary things like vivas.
The next day we made it into Denver. I don't really like big cities, but the main shopping street was pretty quiet. Maybe American's don't do the whole hang out in town on saturday thing. Cow Parade is there, I'm sure the Prague cows were better but maybe I'm biased. We did see some cool ones, including a zebera in a cow costume. One day I might be at a cow parade and not feel the urge to pet all the cows. We spent a long time in Denver aquarium. It's a really nice place, and they thoughtfully keep the tanks really clean so it's easy to take pictures through the glass. I'm really pleased with some of the pictures. I might
not be the next Dr. Mustard, but at least I kept my feet dry.Left: posing chipmunk
