Denver Explorations

We started off the day by taking the shuttle downtown. Our first stop was the state capital building. Of course we visited it more for it's architecture and were able to get some good shots of the building and its views. We then walked to the Denver mint to see if we could get tickets for a tour and was given the unfortunate news that we were going to have to be there at 7:30am the following morning to get standby tickets.

Next up was more architecture. We saw the Denver library designed by Michael Graves and the Denver Art museum by Daniel Libskind. In the art museum we saw exhibits of modern art and ancient clay pots (yes exciting we know). We then walked down the 16th street mall to the D&F Tower, a replica of a famous church steeple in Venice. After the tower we headed to the Millenium Bridge. By now it was starting to rain on us and after getting Chipotle to go, we headed back to the hotel. Tomorrow we are going to the mint. Tell you all about it later! Good night.
