Since once we get to the Jane Austen conference, we will probably never go outside until Sunday, Liz and I decided to walk around Denver. (We took a 3.4 mile walk one way and Lyft back. Resting now until it is time to go to tea at the Brown Palace Hotel.
First Stop:The State Capitol building. It looks a lot like the Sacramento Capitol and it turns out they both used the same design.
Their chambers were prettier than ours - turns out they had just been redone.
Next: The Colorado History Museum.
There was a wonderful exhibit about the Sand Creek Massacre created by descendants of the Cheyenne and Arapaho who survived. This was a little girl’s dress from time.
We walked on to Trader Joe’s so that Liz could get a souvenir TJ’s bag and some bananas Really tired we Lyfted home!
Resting in the room
Tea Time Now we get to FOOD!
The loveliness of the Brown Palace atrium:
Liz and I with our goodies
Sandwiches (they brought seconds)
Cucumber, curried egg salad & salmon salad
Scones 1 savory and 1 sweet
Desserts The little layer cake with the flower was the best. The jam was lychee & pomegranate
Since we only had a very light breakfast we ate it all without guilt.
Now we are digesting and getting packed to move to the conference hotel tomorrow.
