The Farthest West I've Ever Been, feat. Denver

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that at age 20 I haven't left the eastern standard time zone. But now I have! I'm in Denver for the weekend visiting my brother. I haven't been blown away by it yet, as I often hear that people are, but it is a beautiful city. I haven't been exploring too much yet though, so we'll see if my opinion changes. So far we have just been relaxing, Thursday was a full and tiresome day of travel that involved waking up at 5:35am, which is ungodly and cruel.

We made it to our house!

This is the cute little place where we are staying. It is in the Highlands I guess, which is about a mile outside of the actual city part of Denver.

Then we went to eat dinner on the roof of my brother's apartment building. He has an insanely beautiful view.

There was also this insanely beautiful cloud that kept expanding through the night. It started out like this:

And at the end of the night, it looked like this:

AWESOME.

The sun set, and we enjoyed our dinner.

The world is beautiful. We're going to the mountains today, and I'm so excited. My camera is all charged up and I am ready to see some beautiful nature.
