Came in yesterday and staying through Friday. I will be going as far south as Pueblo, and north to Cheyenne. The weather isn't too bad. There have been tornado warnings here for a week!
I worked around Denver yesterday. Went out to Parker to see a new account. when done, I drove east while talking on phone.
The landscape was dotted with farm or horse estates and lots of green grass. I turned at some point and went north until I couldn't go any further and turned back west. I ran into a huge shopping complex and decided to drive through it to canvas prospective shops for business.
I ended up stopping at Fish City Grill to have dinner. The place wasn't too busy, so I asked if the mall was fairly new. My waitress said it was very slow due to a tornado coming through the area the week prior. She said a couple of the stores were still closed because of storm damage, and that customers were staying away.
The food was great! I had my first Oyster Nacho. Sounds sick, but was really superb. It is a tortilla topped with fried oysters and chipotle tartar sauce and fresh pico de gallo. I would recommend this restaurant, especially if you like seafood.
Today I drove to Loveland (north of Denver about 45 mins) to see an account. When done, I took the scenic loop through Estes Park and back into Denver. The mountain road started out with green lush hills, and turned into sheer rock mountains. I passed a store called the Dam Store. It looked like it would be fun to shop. They have a tower above the store that you can go up to see the scenery. As you come into Estes Park, the mountains begin to move back to reveal a reservoir and the valley, with the city sitting in the middle.
I had dinner tonight at Mojitos somewhere near 6th Ave and 1120 E in Denver. It was Cuban food. First time I have had a Cuban meal. I had LECHON ASADO Marinated pork shoulder topped with mojo and sautéed onions, slow roasted to perfection, served with Moro rice, and Tostones (Plantain Fritters). The food was good. The pork was awesome! The place is known for it's Mojito's. I had a grapefruit and rum mojito and liked it!
Tomorrow I go to Pueblo! Will try to recap rest of week and get off the beaten path to see something new.
Ta-ta!
