A Lazy Day in Boulder

A lie-in in Denver was needed to catch up on the jet lag and help battle a cold that had developed as I left NZ.  We were then driven to Boulder for lunch with extended family in the Dushanbe teahouse, which not only has an interesting history, but is also a beautiful setting. The whole building has rich and beautiful tiles throughout.

The building was a gift from the sister city of Dushanbe in Tajikistan. You can read about its history here. A huge variety of teas and delicious food are available. I had the Indian Dosa while Dan enjoyed a very different American Breakfast. 

We followed this up with a sightseeing drive into the Flatirons. Stunning country and lookouts over the Colorado plains. 

From there, it was home to Denver and enjoying Margaritas, cathartic reminiscences and dinner before planning a car pickup for tomorrow.
