Day 4: Denver

road looks straight and was real straight

one of the longest routes based on the original plan. started off early to make sure we see the sun go down on the rockys. sun is the celestial object and rocky is the mountain range. no pun intended.

discovered a friend in lincoln, nebraska. so had to visit for breakfast. what luck, delicious poori. could not start without wasting two hours, no qualms. nebraska is probably the most boring state to drive through. visibility of 3 miles either way, beautiful day. meanwhile, mid-west was getting bad weather.

took the "scenic route" through cheyenne, wyoming, which took the most time to drive in the entire trip. thanks to the time zone change, saved an hour and reached boulder while there was still sunlight.

the scenic route did start, we were looking forward to the evening and the next day. spent the evening in boulder downtown, highly recommend visiting it, another microbrew and we could feel the altitude. ate home cooked food again, at a friends place. i dont believe our luck, only one meal at a restaurant in four days, but thankfully it ran out that night.
