Last two days in the US of A

I had two days to mess about and spend the last of my hard earned dollarz.

Monday, January 16, actually make that 16 January 2006, saw me head back to Loveland for my final session of carving. Yet again, I picked a day when a snowstorm arrived. Downtown Denver was about 5 Celsius, but Loveland was close on -10C. And that meant my camera didn't work that well again, so not too many pics... Unfortunately, the storm got so bad I had to leave at 3pm!

Before and after (breaking my falls with my face)... got a helmet this time too!

My last Tuesday (17 Jan '06) saw me head to Red Rocks Ampitheatre - a concert venue carved out of the some cool rock formations. This place was awesome, and I'm quite disappointed I didn't watch a concert here. It has a capacity of just under 10,000 - Dave Matthews sold out four concerts in minutes, and so did Santana (he's been performing here since the 60s!

I chilled on the stands for an hour watching this hippie play with his congas, his drums I mean. The acoustics is amazing, considering that this place was built some time in the 20s, I think?! With nothing but good explding of the natural rock.

And so ended my last full day in Denver, Colorado. I went home at about 3pm, a little depressed, to finish my packing. And with that, ended my last experiences of the United States...
