First Week Back in Denver
I spent Christmas day with a great group of people volunteering at the women's homeless shelter. The amount of food and goodies that were donated for the ladies absolutely amazed me!
On Friday evening, I visited the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, CO. After having a very lazy few days, I am happy I convinced myself to head to Boulder because the Dairy Center was definitely worth it! First, I walked through the art gallery and saw the Bike Art exhibit that was on display. Bike art!!! It couldn't get much cooler than that! I then bought a ticket for an evening movie that was showing in the Center's cinema. The movie, Desert Runners, was a documentary about a group of non-professional runners that decided to compete in 4 ultra marathons in 4 different deserts around the world in a one year time span. In total, the runners raced 600 miles in temperatures up to 115*F!! Very inspiring film but definitely not something I would ever dream of participating in!

Yay!! And (of course) the bike gallery would not be complete without a section devoted to my favorite place in the world--Copenhagen, Denmark! |

Blossoms of Light
After missing my bus home that only runs once every hour, I decided to walk a few blocks and visit the Botanic Gardens. During the holiday season, the Gardens has an event called the Blossoms of Light. I usually do not get excited about celebrating the holidays but the snow on the ground has definitely put me in the Christmas spirit. Here are a few pictures.

Grand Illumination
Tonight was the Grand Illumination of Union Station in Denver. The website said "Following a countdown shortly after 6:30p.m., Denver Union Station will be ablaze with brightly colored lights illuminating the historic structure in the heart of Lower Downtown and its lighted tree in front." The picture below shows Union Station....such a disappointment. When the station lit up, the crowd went silent for a second, then erupted in laughter. We left when the booing began. There were ZERO Christmas lights and NO tree at the so-called Grand Illumination.
We then walked down 16th Street to see some actual Christmas lights & decorations before ending up at a German Christmas Market in downtown. I was excited to see a Danish bakery stand, but after eating Danish pastries in Denmark for 6 months, I wasn't impressed with what they had to offer. Instead I settled on a mug of warm gluhwein.

Finally found a Christmas tree down by the outdoor ice-skating rink in the middle of town. |

for a tour of the new courthouse & a cup of coffee.

The ceiling and most walls of the building are windows, symbolizing the transparency of the court. |
