WAY TO GO TEXAS RANGERS! AND MORE DENVER PHOTOS

First of all, let me get the most important part out of the way:  Texas Rangers celebrate second consecutive AL West crown after home win and some help.  You can read more here if you are so inclined.

Now, just a few last words and photos about Denver. 

We visited the Taste of Denver street festival one beautiful, balmy morning in downtown Denver.

and also saw a 3-D Imax film called “Born to Be Wild” featuring rescue  programs for orphaned baby orangutans and elephants.  Of course, I dodged the soccer ball that looked like was coming right at me and swatted at the gnats and bugs that were flying all around my head.  Made me feel stupid but that’s the magic of 3-D.

There was interesting architecture all around

Unfortunately, this museum was closed so we didn't get to see the inside.
