Downtown Denver

We spend a good bit of the morning and afternoon in the historic LoDo (lower downtown) section of Denver, starting at the Union Station building. In addition to being an active transportation hub, it has a number of eateries (14?). The center court was being set up for a wedding reception.

We did a two hour guided walking tour as part of our time there. There were about 20 in the group. Our tour guide owned the company and had been providing tours since 2017. Sounded like he had spent time bar tending and other things at giving up his career in IT, which he hated. One of the areas we visited was Larrimer Square, developed by general William Larrimer from Pittsburgh.

While wondering, we came across Shakespeare in the Parking Lot where we got to watch a production of Romeo and Juliet.

There appears to be a great network of trails and the streets seemed somewhat biker friendly.

We had lunch and a beer at the Wynkoop brewery, very good.Read more
