Many people who visit new cities tend to dread the prospect of driving themselves around unchartered territory. Simply not knowing the area or fear of the unknown can be overwhelming. I flew to Denver last month which is a big city with a lot of one way streets. I am from Illiniois, a very small area. So rather than try and get around the streets of Denver, I decided to call a local limo company. I hired a Denver limousine to take me where I needed to go.
Believe it or not, it was not too expensive and the chauffuer was very knowledgable. He was originally a Connecticut painter he had come out west a few months ago. By the way he knew his way around Denver, I would have thought that he live there his whole life. The limo driver took me to downtown Denver and I even watched 5 innings of a Rockies game. It was a great time.
Later that week, I wanted to go see the town of Golden. I had heard that you can pan for gold in one of the rivers there. I got to try panning gold and I even found a $1,000 nugget in the river bank. I phoned the Denver limousine company and the same driver took me to Golden. This was an amazing small town and the people were so very friendly.
You should consider checking out Golden if you are in Colorado. I also went to the town of Idaho Springs which was beautiful. I saw a few people walking dogs on main street and everyon was way cool. I stayed at the St. Julien Inn and Resort. It was expensive, but I am glad I tried it. If you get a chance – book yourself a trip to the amazing state of Colorado!
