Update and New Pictures

It will soon be a week since we arrived in Denver, and a lot has happened. I finished putting the apartment together by Friday, and Zach and I finished putting up our art work today. During our daily wanderings we've learned a few things about life in Denver.

First of all, Urban Outfitters is the coolest store ever. I know they have them in Columbus, but it never fit with our 130-year-old house. Now it fits perfectly. I've found awesome ways of organizing my massive costume jewelry collection, gorgeous art, and nifty clothing.

Secondly, Denver is something like the microbrewery capital of the U.S. What does this mean? Pretty much every restaurant has its own beer or a beer of a local brewery on tap. Tuesday Zach and I went to a cute little pizzeria called Il Vicino. Not only was it delicious, it had the best beers. Supper yummy. And a really good price, too. Rock Bottom Brewery is equally delicious, and they have a chocolate creme brulee to die for.

Thirdly, it is fantastic being able to walk everywhere. Technically we can't walk to the store for any major shopping. But it is only ten blocks away. If we just wanted to grab a few things, it's not that bad, and it's just a short jaunt in the car.

I'm sure we've learned many more lessons that we could impart on all of you (for example, the opener for the door into our underground garage is only for coming in...the door opens automatically if you are going out, thus explaining why every time we used the door opener we ended up leaving through the wrong door...) but I think our time could be better spent showing pictures. You can click on the album to the left and it should open a slide show of pictures for you. Please note: the large empty wall beside the couch is reserved for a giant urban mural of some sort. Zach hasn't found the right one yet. And we know that the office is rather bare. We're working on it. You would think that a house full of art would suffice to decorate a simple apartment, but it has not been the case. Please send comments and tell us what you think!
