No trip to the Denver area should
be without a tour through the Coors Brewery. So off we went. You get a beer at
the tasting room in the middle of the tour and at the end you get to sample
three more beer. During the bus ride to the brewery we got a short tour through
the city of Bolder and were informed we could leave our vehicles parked at
their parking lot and explore Bolder. So we did. We had dinner at a Cantina.
Guess who else was there…. The 80s! There was a woman sitting at a table with
the hairstyle of Mike Score the lead singer from a Flock of Seagulls. Her
friends all looked like poster children for hairstyles of the 80s.
Shortly after we were served our
food a waiter threw a knife at me. He stumbled over something and a plate with
a knife on it went flying with the knife coming to rest on the floor not far
from my foot. I knew right then and there we were in the right place, Mexican
food, margaritas, and knives. I ordered pumpkin cheesecake with a cinnamon
caramel sauce and vanilla cognac for dessert. It was such a huge piece and I
was full so I took half of it home with us. John, our waiter took it away and
put it in a box. Lady Tamara www.LairdOfLochaber.com
had the best breakfast ever…..coffee and pumpkin cheesecake….mmmmm
We decided to go to Georgetown
for the weekend. Tony called a hotel from his work phone which is blocked at the
carrier. No one should be able to call
him back. The rate they quoted him was a little high so he thanked them and
rang off. About 5 minutes later his phone rang, it was the hotel calling him
back to give him a cheaper rate. Our question is how did they get his number? We
decided since we were armed and this was an adventure we would stay at what we
have affectionately dubbed The Bates Motel.
Before we left for Georgetown we
headed back to Bolder to visit the grave site of Buffalo Bill Cody. It was at
the top of a mountain. Him and his wife are both buried there.
There we were tootling through
Georgetown when we spy deer in the front yard of a house. There was a mama and
2 babies and a couple other doe munching away in the front yard. This is in
town, downtown not on the edges of suburbia. It reminded me of the donkeys that
roam through Cripple Creek. The doe
stopped and gazed at us while I took a photo. They did not run away or take
flinch they just watched us watch them.
I know most of you have been
wondering where Horatio has been for the past several days as have I. We
spotted him in Denver and then as we were driving to Georgetown he was stopping
for gas in Idaho Springs. We waved he looked up and over his sunglasses at us
and gave us the nod.
What else lies ahead?
