Colourful Colorado

We'd been recommended Lucille's by a Cut Out + Keep member, who said we hadn't lived until we'd had breakfast here.

It was a New Orleans style restaurant and I had a praline waffle, which was really good.

We went to Silver Plume, where we got tickets for a ride on the steam train.

It was such a pretty ride.

This is one of the few railroad that has to loop over itself to climb the steep mountains.

It takes four miles of track to go between the two stations which are only two miles apart.

We then went for a look around Silver Plume which is a ghost town.

A bakery was one of the few existing shops.

It was closed but you could still buy bread and use the honesty box which was so nice.

We got a loaf of rosemary garlic and it was delicious.

There was also a brick building jail.

It was only big enough to hold one person.

We then had a look around Pine Wood Cemtery which was the eeriest place I've ever been.

This would be the perfect location for a horror film.

We then headed to the more populated Georgetown.

We got sodas from End Of The Line.

This is one of the few authentic soda fountains left in the state.

We then decided to drive up Mount Evans which is the highest paved highway in the US.

It was so picturesque.

We stopped to see the mountain goats.

The baby goats were so cute.

We made it to the top and were so proud of our little Dodge.

I started to feel a little dizzy with the altitude.

We then drove to downtown Denver.

There were parking meters for the homeless, where you could donate spare quarters.

There's an amazing bear statue leaning on the Convention Centre.

It's such a cool little city with steam vents and it looked really pretty when it lit up at night.
