Delightful Days in Denver

It's always fun to explore new cities in USA, in my opinion the most versatile country on earth. This weekend me and Rebecka drove almost 1250 miles (about 2000 km) in our Mini-Van (!) From Cedar City, Utah to Denver, Colorado.

Mini-van for two? The american way!




















Incredible nature on Interstate-70...




















I've been to New York, Boston, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other big cities in the states, and I must say that Denver qualifies as one of my top three favorites (San Francisco and New York are the other two). 

Why? Well, Denver is a big city that offers shopping, nice restaurants, museums and a lot of good sporting events. At the same time, which makes Denver unique, is that you get to know the heart of the city in only one day. We visited Denver for only three days, and we're already familiar with the best clothing stores, the nicest baristas and the most delicious noodle place in town.
The view from our nice Ramada Hotel. 














Denver Art Museum.














DAM is big, seven floors of art in two buildings.














An other thing that makes Denver so fantastic is the nature. It's hard to imagine until you go there, but the surrounding mountains are incredible. To see the skyscrapers downtown go well with the huge white mountains makes you fall in love with the city:
Bad picture, but gets the point across.














We celebrated Valentine's Day with...




















... out Pepsi clothes and...




















..watched NHL! Flames @ Avalanche (9-1) without Forsberg :(














Driving through Colorado is beautiful, don't you think?














Thank You Colorado for a memorable weekend!














But hey, you can't leave without trying their burgers! Mmm..
