A Food Tour of Denver

The Dashanbe Teahouse is kind of a combo food, drink, architecture and artwork visit. The building is breathtaking. The whole building was created by 40+ artisans from several cities of Tajikistan. They created the decorative elements the Teahouse, including its hand-carved and hand-painted ceiling, tables, stools, columns, and exterior ceramic panels. It’s absolutely stunning. I’d recommend going here even if you’re not hungry. The craftsmanship of this building is so unbelievable. But we did eat there. And drink there. They offer unlimited chai. YES. YOU HEARD RIGHT. UNLIMITED CHAI. You empty your coffee mug and they REFILL IT. FOR FREE. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. We were in hog heaven. Add that to the artistry around us and the yummy small plates we had of hummus and veggies and a little sampler plate. People come here for tea (obviously) and the tea sandwich sit down experience. You have to have reservations for that, so plan in advance people!

Ashley & Jonathon’s Wedding – 8.26.16

We all met up at the courthouse and waited while a hearing finished up. Family and friends slowly streamed in and hugs, kisses, and smiles were exchanged by all. Who says you can’t have a fun wedding if it’s at a courthouse?? These two knew how to make this a special and intimate ceremony! The presiding judge, Judge Masland, was wonderful! Leading a quick and lovely ceremony he posed for photos, joked with the little kids, and made sure the couple had everything before we left for the firehouse!

Peru: Part 2 – Machu Picchu & Puerto Maldonado

Let me start off by saying that Machu Picchu will probably be one of the most beautiful sites I will ever see in my lifetime. I’ve traveled all over the world and the view of Machu Picchu with the endless Andes in the background, ruins in front of you, blue skies and clouds will forever have a place in my memories. I mean seriously, does it really get a lot more beautiful then this?
