      Day 4

      Catch up in Colorado

      May 24, 2023 in the United States

      Today I slept in and took my time getting going. I was picked up by Tanya, my former college coach and we went to Sam's No. 3, a diner downtown. It was great catching up with her and hearing all the stories from the past few years. I had the worlds biggest breakfast burrito, which thankfully I was able to bring the rest home for tomorrow. She took me to the athletic offices where we used to meet and it definitely brought back some memories.
      Next I got changed as it was storming, then headed up to catch the bus to meet my formed athletic trainer Drew. It was another classic bus journey, striking up a conversation with people about Australia and the Denver Nuggets winning streak.
      I stopped at a brewery in the south pearl district on the way and had an amazing watermelon sour and a great red ale on my tasting tray.
      Finally met up with Drew and went to his house for dinner. I got to meet his 6, 4 and 2 year old and see his awesome wife again. We played on the playground, had dinner, went for ice cream and watched Bluey. It was a perfect night, feeling very loved by those in Denver!      Read more

      Ein Bildschirm hafter Flug.

      July 18, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Während des 10h Flug schauten Lian und ich sehr lange in den Bildschirm.Das Essen war sehr gut und die Stewardes sehr hilfsbereit.Ungefähr in der Mitte wollte ich Mami etwas fragen und lehrte ihr ihren ganzen Weisswein über die Hose was sie nicht so toll fand.2h bis Landung schalltete ich den Bildschirm aus und schlief auf den knien von Papi ein.Lian wiederum schaute einfach weiter fehrnsehen denn er schaute 4 Filme.Als wir ein Uber am Flughafen bestellt haben mussten wir 2min warten und er war da.Leider war der fahrer einbischen schlecht drauf und sprach gar nicht mit uns obwohl er ein tolles Auto hatte.Angekommen am Hotel sprangen wir noch in den Pool assen abendessen und gingen dann aufs Zimmer und schliefen ein.Funfact als wir einschliefen war schon in der Schweiz 6 Uhr morgens.Read more

      Day 5

      We love a tourist day

      May 25, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      Today was another slow start, I walked downtown and tried to get tickets to the tour of the Mint. They were all sold out when I got there sadly. So I walked around to the City Building and Capitol Building. I went into the Capitol and had a look at the Colorado Senate, House of Representatives and saw where all the offices are. It was a gorgeous building inside and out. There were no tours sadly though 😞
      Then I didn't know what to do, so after a quick google I decided to head to the History Colorado Centre. It was a great choice, I spent 4 hours learning about Colorado natives - Utes, Sand Creek massacre, climate of Colorado and all about the events in history that have shaped the state. Peep the video of my epically failing on the ski jump, all my days of Wii fit have not paid off.
      By this time it was 3pm and I was starving, so I took a trip to the one and only Cheesecake Factory. I had a delicious meal, got a slice of cheesecake and had the nicest waitress who gave me a discount. I find myself more open to having conversations with people, as I don't have anyone with me - definitely the community worker in me craving the chats!
      I then walked home in a wonderful summer storm, completely soaked and concerned I was going to be hit by lightning. Made it back unscathed. I was going to go back out but got really sleepy, so I am laying on the lounge eating leftovers. A perfect night really!      Read more

      Day 10

      Denver

      September 1, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Denver war lediglich ein kurzer Zwischenstopp für uns, da wir von dort aus nach Las Vegas geflogen sind.

      Von Estes Park fährt man ca. 1 1/2 Stunden nach Denver und nimmt während der Fahrt noch ein gutes Stück schöne Landschaft mit.

      Denver an sich hat uns eher enttäuscht 🙄. Wir haben die Stadt als schmuddelig empfunden und der Teil zwischen State Capitol Building und Union Station hat uns nicht umgehauen. Hier gibt es trotzdem ein paar Eindrücke vom super heißen Tag.

      Highlight des Tages dort war auch eher der Besuch im höchstgelegenem Football Stadium, dem Mile High (1.609 m). Hier sind die Denver Broncos seit September 2001 zu Hause.      Read more

      Day 6

      Back to Metro

      May 26, 2023 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      Today I started the day with a walking tour beginning at the Capitol building. The guides name was Anthony (I cannot escape Toni/ys it seems) and people from Texas, Pittsburgh, New England, Old England, New York, Minnesota. It was actually so nice to chat with people and find out where they were from. We toured around Denver for over 2 hours. It was nice to hear some stories and facts about all the main spots which I'd seen before. One cool story at the Mint was seeing how each US coin has a tiny letter so you can see where in the country it was minted. There was also a story about the eagle on top of the Denver city building looking like it was "pooping" as a protest of the government by its creator. This was such a widely spread story that the city commissioned an ecologist to watch eagles poop to see if it was the same as the sculpture. Turns out they were just paranoid, the eagle isn't in a "pooping" stance.
      After that I walked back to visit the University I went to, Metro State. I walked past the old courts I trained on and through the building we used to spend heaps of time in. Interestingly, I felt a sense of dread and anxiety being back. I guess the good, the bad and the ugly memories came flooding back!
      I had lunch at the brewery, the Tivoli which is on campus. I had this massive burger and a beer which students from the Uni have helped brew. I then caught up with Eric, who is the media guy at Metro and has interviewed me countless times. It was great to see what he is up to and talk about life.
      Then I came home and started to pack my stuff up as I leave on Sunday to go with Kendra for her wedding week!
      Being a tightass, I bought a microwaved meal and will eat leftover cheesecake for dessert!
      I'm very excited to be able to watch the Formula One in a decent time zone tomorrow and Sunday as well!      Read more

      🏀 Game Nr.3

      November 5, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Auf dem Weg zum Basketballstadion waren noch w Stops eingeplant: Kaffee in der Union Station und eine Geburtstagsparty für Whitney, die erst vor kurzem ihren 40.Geburtstag hatte. 20 Leute trafen sich in einer Bier-Bar um Whitney zu feiern und danach gemeinsam zum Basketball-Spiel zu gehen.
      Ein paar Biere und Lebensversicherungen später (die Bezeichnung "Life insurance" hatten wir auch hier etabliert ubd sie wurde sehr gefeiert - Sänd&Georg ihr wärt stolz auf uns 😅😉)
      gings zu unserem 3.Basketballspiel auf unserem Trip, in jedem Bundesstaat schafften wir es zu einem 😅🙌 Thanks friends 😊
      Die Denver Nuggets gegen San Antonio Spurs war diesmal das Matchup, perfekt für uns, denn bei den Spurs spielt Jakob Pöltl, der einzige Österreicher in der NBA 😊 Somit waren wir teils für Denver und natürlich auch ein kleines Bisschen dafür, dass Pöltl gut spielt 😬
      Die Plätze waren wahnsinn, im unteren Bereich schräg hinter dem Feld mit perfektem Blick auf das Spiefeld und alle 20 Leute saßen auf 2 Reihen verteilt zusammen, super zum Tratsch-Talken 😊🙌 (Funfact: einer verkaufte sogar seine Seasontickets in der ersten Reihe um bei uns zu sitzen 😅)
      Das Spiel selbst war ein sogenannter Blowout, bereits zur Halbzeit war klar, dass die Nuggets gewinnen werden (sie waren +30 oder so).
      Daher machten wir die Bar unsicher und genossen die Gesellschaft und Hyped-heit aller 😊
      Nach dem Spiel gings noch in die Bar direkt im Stadion und um ca. 23Uhr nahm uns eine Freundin dankenswerterweise mit nach Hause. Die Heimfahrt gestaltete sich, wie der gesamte Tag, sehr amüsant und lustig und somit konnte der Tag gebührend abgeschlossen werden 😅🙌      Read more

      *cue Downtown by Petulia Clark*

      May 23, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Today started with a run back to the lake to allow me to feel less guilty about drinking beers later. I walked downtown, jumped on the free shuttle bus along the 16th Street mall which has now been diverted to 17th Street? Anyway, they are doing a 'revitalisation' of the mall leaving it chaotic, empty and loud. I'm not in a rush to head back that way...
      Paid a whole $6 to see guardians of the galaxy and get a small popcorn #deals. If you've not seen guardians, please go and see.
      Wandered back down the mall to Tony Ohrdorfs favourite shop, Ross for Less. They really have everything you could ever need there. Was stopped multiple times and asked for money, but one nice guy complimented me on my "fit and smile" which brightened my day.
      Hit Chipotle for a burrito the size of a small child. Next I met up with my old assistant coach at one of the many breweries. We shared a few bevs and stories which was so lovely.
      Finishing the day up back at the apartment, cooking and watching the Ed Sheeran doco. So a perfect night to end a solid, lovely day!      Read more

      Kendra's HERE

      May 27, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Today I woke up and was able to watch formula one qualifying at a decent time. It's the small things in life haha. I then went on a walk downtown, along the river and up to the Santa Fe art district which has some gorgeous Spanish inspired buildings. I walked back through the old stretch of Metro where I would spend my breaks and past the old church as well. I started packing all my things as today is my last full day on Denver! I read my book in the park and worked on my tan as it was 27c today.
      Then Kendra arrived! We spent the afternoon chatting, then met up with my former assistant coach Jazz, her girlfriend and her best friend. We went to a super loud pizza place which was fun. Kendra and I stopped at a brewery on the way home, then both agreed on an early bed time. It is the absolute best chatting to her about life and all the plans for the wedding.      Read more
