Downtown Denver

On our walk to the 16th street mall we saw different artistic creations. Chandler did not like this one. He was afraid he would be swept away if he got closer. If you look closely you can see him running away in the bottom left hand corner.
This artistic creation gives a new meaning to the words "Pull up a chair." This chair is found outside of the Denver Public Library. We had fun imagining how big a person would have to be to use a chair this size.
We are still walking to the 16th street mall here but had to stop and admire the amazing gardens in the Civic Center Park found in the middle of Downtown. This is a picture of us in front of the capitol building. We will be touring this building tomorrow.
We made it to the 16th street mall. This is a walking area downtown where there are lots of different kind of shops. There are hanging baskets and large flower pots everywhere. It reminds me of a mixture between a "fusse ganger zone" in Germany and Pikes Market in Seattle Washington.
Kara said a trip to the 16th street Mall is not complete without sitting and enjoying an apple from the Rocky Mountain Candy Store. These stores are only found in Utah and Colorado. These are not just an apple. They are Carmel dipped and then they add all different kinds of chocolate, cookie crumbs, nuts etc. Corban chose "Cookies and Cream" Cater's was "Tiger Butter" and Chandler and I shared one called "Bear Claw." We had never tasted anything like them before. It was a nice treat.
