Visiting Denver, CO - Sep 2021 - Travels With Martin

I spent about five days in the Denver area. I stayed with an old friend from high school. I hadn’t spent more than a few hours with him since high school so it was really wonderful catching up! Most of my time there was spent at his house working although I did get out and do some exploring. One thing I learned while here is that one week is not enough time to be in Denver.

I was able to play a few disc golf courses in the area. Honestly, not the best courses I’ve played but I did enjoy them none the less. There was a small 9 basket course not far from the house and there was one course that had prairie dogs all over! I’ve never seen prairie dogs before. Very cure.

I had the opportunity to see Squeeze and Hall & Oates in concert at the new Ball Arena in downtown Denver.

I was able to spend some quality time with my buddy and explored some of downtown Denver.

I like trying the local foods when I visit new places and I checked online to see what was recommended in Denver. The Buckhorn Exchange is one of the oldest taverns in Denver and the Internet suggested I go there to try the Colorado Oysters. As adventurous as I feel I am, I couldn’t do it. I tried rattlesnake instead!
