I took the Light rail this morning to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science (http://www.dmns.org/) What an amazing place to spend a day. I watched an IMAX movie called Mysteries of the Great Lakes (http://www.dmns.org/imax/current-films/mysteries-of-the-great-lakes-2d) I also took in the Planetarium show Black Holes: The Other Side Of Infinity (http://www.dmns.org/planetarium/current-shows/black-holes-the-other-side-of-infinity) It was all to much to cover in this entry but take a look a the Pictures. ... read more

I took the Rapid Rail to SouthMoor Station and to go to the Movies. The tunnel under the highway is something called an Urban Musical Instrument. Every 3 or 4 meters there is this colored column that plays a different note when you pass it. There is a riddle that if you solve it plays a melody. I have not had the chance to try this but I will try it again. I went to Chili's Grill (http://www.chilis.com/) for diner and had what I think might be my new favorite drink a Patron and Pomegranate Margarita. I had this mixed Fajita Combo that had Chicken Shrimps and Steak. I Rounded off my meal with a lovely Long Island Ice Tea. The Cinema was called something called RPX (http://www.bigscreen.com/journal.php?id=1868) which is a pretty nice cinema. Closest South ... read more

I went to american Diner close to the Mincom Denver Office I do not think I have been called sweetie more in my life :D This was also my first Meatloaf which to be honest tastes like my mothers frikkadels :) There was this vintage motorbike as well as a yellow sports car. Also the first time in my life I could not finish my milkshake. The brink you a full milkshake glass and then the mixer thing it was made in. I had a root beer Milkshake which I really liked more than I thought. ... read more

Woke up this morning and had a Bagel at Einstein Brothers (http://www.einsteinbros.com/) and a Pumpkin Latte. Will and Rachel where gracious enough to spend their day taking me into the Rocky mountains. We went to a place called Indian Peaks National Park it is 10 000 feet above sea level (http://www.coloradowilderness.com/wildpages/indian.html) We took an amazingly beautiful walk. We had lunch in a small mountain town Called Nederland :) This town reminds me somewhat of the town of Clarens in the Drakensburg. We spent the Afternoon at Paul's house looking at an amazing air craft show from his back porch. I also had my first taste of American wine called Syrah. Paul bought it in Napa Valley. ... read more

Spent my first Saturday doing a bit of shopping and BBQ at Will's House I went to the Park Meadows Mall and bought some shirts and Jeans. I also bought a nice pair of Nike Sneakers (Which is insanely cheaper than in South Africa) I took the Denver Lite Rail (http://www.rtd-denver.com/lightRail_subHome.shtml) to get to Park Meadows Mall (http://www.parkmeadows.com/) and spent about 4 Hours there. Will picked me up and we bought some awesome Rib-Eye Steak. We had a BBQ at Will and Rachael's House. I met Paul, Wayne (another ex South African we seem to be anywhere) and his wife Melissa. Will has this really cool Ceramic BBQ Weber type Grill. Will was feeding pulling out some really cool Beers for us to try. I have to admit I am not big on the Sour Bear ... read more

My First days in Denver have gone by in a blur. I went to the Sunflower Market and got some food to stock the kitchen (See Picture) I found the food really good and great value for Money. Going on some of the documentaries I have seen I expected fresh food to be really expensive here and I found it to be the some price as South Africa, If not slightly cheaper. Took at walk to CB and Potts to try some of the local Micro Brewery beer (and some awesome ribs) The beet sampler was a great suggestion (thank Will) it allowed me to try all the beers. I went to the movies at United Artists Movie theater in the tech center. One of the few things I have found really expensive in Denver. $14 ... read more

I got to the airport way to early :D The Flight was fairly comfortable, well as comfortable as a 16 Hour flight can be. The transfer at Atlanta went pretty smooth. But by the time I got to Denver I was pretty fried. ... read more
