Oh no, I've fallen almost three weeks behind. Time for a few speed posts to get caught back up, but don't worry because I won't skimp on the pictures. That is the best part, after all!
Tuesday, January 2 - 3127 steps:
This was a lazy recovery day for sure after two days of a New Year's Eve music festival and a New Year's Day focused on University of Texas football. The only source of activity on Tuesday was a walk over to the local Middle Eastern restaurant - Mecca Grill - to bring back a big spread of shwarma, pita, dips, and spreads. It was very tasty!
Wednesday, January 3 - 4809 steps:
Although I walked less than 5K steps, I had an action-packed last full day in Denver. Our local friends from the music festival picked me and my partner up to take us to a fun mountainside lookout for sunset. Lookout Mountain also happens to be home to the Buffalo Bill museum.
After sunset, we drove further west into the mountains to go to an older mining town called Idaho Springs, which has a pizzaria known for its trademark Colorado crust.
Beau-Jo's also has a fun wall covered with hand-drawn napkins. Check out all the cool designs!
Thursday, January 4 - 11406 steps:
Of course, travel day back home to New York City meant lots of walking. We enjoyed one last plate of Latin Colorado cuisine before heading to the airport. The decor of the restaurant - El Machete - is the cover image for this report and gave a great ambiance for the meal.
The Denver Airport is quite vast and has some interesting design elements, whereas the NYC airports all feel old and cramped, even with their recent upgrades. Here is one last pic from Denver before we flew home.
Thankfully, my partner convinced me to split the cost of Ubers to and from the airports on our trip. I could have amassed many more steps than 11K, but with all the luggage with us, I am thankful for less work for travel day.
I'll be back tomorrow to talk about what I did with my last weekend of vacation before getting back to work at school. Thanks for stopping bye. Cheers!
