Day Four: A Day on Denver
Day four was fairly laid back. I'm learning that I should not be trying to entertain myself or even to fill all the time in with music, people, books, etc. The good road trip will be a mix of all of the above, mixed together with a healthy dose of time to think.
This day was an attempt to be alone outside of the car and to still have it be a road trip worthy day. I came close. I'll get better. The day was filled mostly with an adventure into downtown Denver. I took the Denver light rail system into town and then rode the free bus to the end of the line and back, just to see my options. I ended up walking through the Lower Downtown District (LoDo) to crash at the Metropolitan Mudd Coffee Co.. After a spell there I walked by Coors Field to grab dinner at the Breckenridge Ball Park Brew Pub. The Brew Pub had really good milk.
Eating dinner alone, even if there is good food, is a little sad, but to be expected. I took the time to soak in the sunset over Coors Field and read Death by Suburb, a book that I would highly recommend for anyone that attends a church in the United States.
So yeah, not too exciting a day, but there were some good thoughts and readings to make it worthwhile. Oh, and Lucas and I threw a glow in the dark disc around just before midnight. I hope Lucas' dream of a glow in the dark ultimate frisbee game will one day become a reality.
