A busy weekend

So this weekend has been non stop. It started on Friday, when Zach called me around 5:30 to tell me to meet him and some of his coworkers at the Rio Grande for some margaritas. Then we went to another bar called B low. One of Zach's coworkers told us that half the night's profits were going to a charity, so we simply had to go. It was very interesting; it had a sort of vampire vibe to it. You had to go down an alley, then into a basement to get to the bar. Inside it had a very dark, Gothic decor. And it played the most awesome 80's music. Not that pop stuff, but bands like the Smiths.

So we hung out for a while on Friday night, meeting new people, and then came home fairly early. Saturday was pretty boring, but today was again fantastic. We got up early and drove down to Colorado Springs to see the Garden of the Gods. It was absolutely lovely! Zach got some wonderful pictures that we'll post later. Unfortunately, he takes his pictures raw, so they're too big to post until we reformat them. It was perfect weather, with clear skies and mild temperatures. The only real complaint I had was that there were too many people. It wasn't really a hiking adventure...more of a leisurely stroll on paved paths. But it was still amazing to see all the rock formations. We had lunch at a cute little restaurant in Manitou Springs, right outside of Garden of the Gods and then drove through Colorado Springs for a little bit.

After we got home we decided to take the light rail down to a mall in southern Denver. It was my first time using the light rail system in Denver. It was kind of nice being able to just sit back and watch the city without having to worry about when to turn off or where to merge. It took longer to get there on a Sunday afternoon than it would have driving, but during rush hour I think it would actually be a shorter trip. I can see why so many people commute here. And Denver just keeps increasing its public transport system. They recently passed this huge initiative to expand the light rail system to some of the suburbs. I can't wait until we can just hop on a train to Boulder and do some shopping. For now I guess we'll just have to depend on the express bus.

So those were this weekend's adventures. I'm sorry I haven't posted lately, but I didn't think anybody was reading. However, I learned the error of my ways when I received a variety of commands from my loyal readers, demanding that I create new posts. Well, perhaps if you would all comment and let me know that I'm not alone in this wide world I might post more frequently. Consider that you need to click the little link that says "comment" next time you wish to hear more from me. But enough lecturing. I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend, and I'll try very hard to post more updates this week.
