Mile High

We've made our way to Denver, Colorado in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains. Our first night we headed over to Coors Field for the Rockies - Cardinals game. Of course Carlos Beltran hit a two-run HR in the first inning for St. Louis. The stadium looks similar to Citifield, especially inside, (same architect) but it's bigger and more open. The next day in Denver we slept late and rested. (No getting up at 7 AM in order to be on the trails by 8) We went to the movies to see Brave and shopped at Target. The city has a few tall buildings, but the surrounding area is basically like LI. Before we headed east to Kansas, we went on the stadium tour of Coors Field, then got in the Odyssey and endured our longest drive of the trip (534 miles). At least we are heading home now. We arrived in Topeka, Kansas at 8:45 PM. Lost an hour - we're in the Central Time Zone now - only an hour difference from NY.
