Deathly Denver


On our way to Colorado Springs


The Balancing Rock at the Garden of the Gods


All that talk of not making prior judgements has happened again...in reverse.

All my high hopes for a picturesque Denver, Colorado came crashing down as we spent the last 4 days walking along the drug-ridden, homeless filled, downtrodden streets of depression, while staying in a half-way house that doubled as a hostel (though where were all the other travellers?).

We did escape however for a day, and drove south to lovely Colorado Springs and to the amazing Garden of the Gods for some ancient-world awe.

And $2 bowling was a nice distraction for a day.

My one other tip for the USA: avoid Denver, head straight for Aspen!
