On Saturday we went with the entire Fire Unit to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater to go hiking. It was beautiful and they have an amazing theater where a lot of really cool people have played. The theater is totally carved out of the rock around it. While we were there, there was some kind of fitness group running up and down the steps. I walked all the way up them once and was exhausted. each step is about 2 feet high. Some people from our group ran all the way down them, running all the way down one step and then down to the next level to run all the way down the next. In total, this was 3.1 miles of running. Intense. The hike was beautiful. I will attach the link to my pictures on facebook at the bottom of this post. Afterwards our group went to Denver and walked around and saw things and ate and drank things. I found a really cool bookstore (I love bookstores) and bought a few things. On Saturday night my roommate and I went to a Mexican restaurant/bar and watched the Redsox play and then went to bed.
Sunday was a our big awaited day off and a chance to sleep in, but I of course (with my excellent internal clock) was up at 7. Brunch on Sundays doesn't start until 11:30, and every day the past week I have eaten both breakfast and lunch by 11:30, so I was very hungry. After brunch my roommate and I went back into the city and walked around and some stores. We walked to the Civic Center where there is an enormous blue bear statue peaking into the building. This is also in my pictures. The entire weekend it has been really rainy and cold, so that is a downer. Especially because we were told that Colorado has the most sunny days of any state. Not anymore.

The pix are really great - so beautiful there. Love the uni - I too would like to see a shot of you wearing everything - especially the hat!
ReplyDeleteLoved the blue bear staring in the window!
Why not a fine of $999.37!? That was weird.
At this point do you have any idea where you will go after training?
Love you much and enjoy your adventure.

One of my favorite bands has a concert DVD of a show they did at Red Rocks, but I've never seen it (epiphany : YouTube).
