Hi mairdie,

Thank you and many hugs to you. It was one of those lifetime moments that you just want to keep close to yourself. Our hotel Denver had guests from the Democratic Convention of 2008. A lot of people in fancy dress. We felt part of history even though we did not vote for them. We told them how nice they looked when we crossed their paths.

I sincerely thank you for your comments. You were exactly like the nice people we met on the train.

Hotel Denver was a place I well remember. When problems with the track ahead delayed the train, we'd get a few hours stopover in Denver and have time to explore. That was definitely one of the places I went. My grandmother lived in Denver for many decades. And speaking of "fancy dress", here's Juvenile Frontier Day in Denver in 1917.
