Visiting a new city is always exciting. Denver is a great city with fantastic warm spring weather, low humidity, enjoyable, a friendly city with beautiful mountainous backdrop. We took a hike near Boulder and tasted beer from a local brewery. I took trips to art museums and other landmarks.

I was delighted bumping into the 41 feet tall Big Blue Bear, peering through the large glass wall of the Denver Convention Center. What are your experiences with public art? How can we integrate more art in our every day life?
