Yesterday we did a walking tour around downtown historic Littleton. Most of the buildings were constructed late 1800's and very early 1900's. I'm not a big architecture person, but some of it was interesting. Some of it was silly as they explain in the brochure all the changes and refurbishing that the buildings have had (most are now restaurants or little shops of some kind). This left me thinking "here is the framework of a very old building that looks nothing like it did, but it used to be a jailhouse back in the day if you can imagine it."
And then today we drove up to Boulder and rode on Banjo Billy's bus that gives a historical tour including ghost stories and crime. How can you not love that! The inside of the bus is comfy with upholstered furniture instead of bus seats and draped fabric in wild colors hanging from the ceiling. The tour was good and we scored $5 off tickets our tour tomorrow of Denver. We walked down the famed Pearl street and then headed off into the mountains to drive around a bit, to Nederland. We again speculated on if we would enjoy living up there. We both agreed that we could, if we were independently wealthy and didn't need to work. I would do crafting things all day, like sewing, candle making, jewelry making, and even take up new arts like painting and stained glass making. Who wants to finance my creative exploration?! :) Yeah, one day!
