Denver and Custer

I’m at Custer today and I took my first ever mirror lake photo at Custer State Park! I don’t know why it took me so long to encounter one despite the many beautiful places I’ve been. I think I took a chipmunk photo too. Really looked like a squirrel. And it looked like Theodore, the fattest one.

The past flight had been really bad. Route march to the MARTA station, sweat like a sweaty pig, run like a dog (yes, like a dog, miss tan) and missed the flight right in the face! Oh man. Missed the museum and IMAX show on Arabia! What a way to start our holiday!

But the food were really good at Denver. Visited Osteria Marco for dinner. Wow! Amazed by the friendly service, great ambience, fabulous food (wild mushroom pizza was insane!) and competitive price. It’s like a dream restaurant.

This morning had breakfast at Lucile Creole Cafe. Double Wow! Besides the great pillow like donuts and omelettes and home made sausages, the cafe has a really nice atmosphere. A lot of Americans come here just to wait to start their day with a great breakfast. They don’t mind waiting under the maple tree, holding a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice while chatting with their friends! Kids running on the green grass completed the whole picture of a nice morning in Spring!

I’m looking forward to the wildlife trail back at Custer tml. Close up pictures of wildlife, another thing that I missed in Alaska! Oh and Mount Rushmore, the 4 faces that i can only get to see in cartoons. It’s less than 12 hours!
