Day in Denver

Today is yet another warm day in Colorado. There is an interesting sculpture along the 16th Street Mall.
Even though it's not on the menu, we enjoy uni and seafood and Stoic & Genuine for lunch. By the time we've left, two other couples have ordered uni. Following our appetizer, we lunched on diver scallops and a great fish and chips.
 
 
Following lunch we pass by Coors Field on the way to Epic Brewing.
After chatting with locals, we pass by Ratio where no beer catches our fancy and on to Our Mutual Friend where we find one brew acceptable.
 
 After an afternoon of walking and beer tasting, we summon the Renaissance limo for a return lift.

This Renaissance is the old Colorado National Bank building.  Carol discovered old vaults in the basement. There is also one on the main floor.  Some are now conference rooms.
 
 
 
Hanging in the halls of the hotel are photographs of the history of the hotel. Pictured are a couple of them depicting the heyday of gold.
 

Tomorrow we return home.
