Adventures in the USA: Denver, Colorado

My youngest brother and I are en route to Panama City to take advantage of his spring break and my Easter long weekend.

Our itinerary takes us from Edmonton to Denver to Panama City, and we fly back via San Jose, Costa Rica and Houston.

We spend a night in Denver, San Jose, and Houston, and we are only going for a week, so really we're spending half our trip in Panama City and half of it getting there and back.  But that is okay, because it will be a leisurely trip rather than one that involves sleep-deprivation and jet lag, and it will let us see and do things along the way.

Moreover, we are no longer in Edmonton, where there was an ugly blizzard this morning (although I think similarly bad weather is heading Denver's way overnight).

In any case, tonight driving from the airport we detoured to see the Colorado State Capitol, the Colorado Rockies' stadium, Coors Field, and the first Quiznos ever.  We also got to eat a delicious Mexican dinner that included fresh mint limeade and horchata (a drink made from rice, cinnamon and milk).

Tomorrow morning we are hoping to visit Red Rocks State Park before our trip to Panama continues, but that will somewhat depend on what the weather is like when we wake up.
