I had the opportunity to pick up the far traveling Paul Lester at the train station in Denver yesterday morning. The man claimed to be hungry so the first needed was breakfast. This was accomplished a t a place called the Rand House Cafe on east Colfax. Paul and I both proved hunger was satisfied. Instead of driving to Mt, Evans we decided to wander the streets of Golden, CO. We picked the right day as they had the USA Pro Challenge bicycle race the day before so Sunday was quiet and peaceful. We stumbled into a yogurt place called Goozel Gourmet Yogurt. We all know the benefits of yogurt. It supplies us with a healthy amount of bacteria and as a dairy product we get a dose of animal protein. Paul and I went a step further and added the nutritional value of coconut, almonds, chocolate chips and any other toppings we could find. Adding a pink spoon for shoveling it in while sitting in a comfy lounge chair makes life seems pretty good. And as two photographers will do we took a few photographs.

We ran across this adobe styled hotel and both thought of Tom Dills and his architectural images that rock.

The streets of Golden were lined with bronze sculptures that added a different touch. We both took photos of this prospector showing off his find. Since this is the hometown for Coors brewery it was no surprise to see Coors written across the prospectors canteen.

Clear Creek runs through the center of town and was a pleasure garden for people. We found tubers, waders and fisherman. All along the banks we could find children of all ages dangling their feet in the refreshing water. We got Paul back to his hotel around 2:00 pm so he could rest after the long night of travel. His return flight was for 6:00 am in the morning so the time together was limited. Paul and I had met previously when Paul picked me up at my hotel in Charlotte and we met Earl Moore for dinner a few years ago. I enjoyed the time and it was good to meet up again.
