One of three footbridges we crossed over a water today

A Long Walk For Francis

Today was sort of a rest day.  Our visiting friends returned to Seattle and all of our other friends here are working so we had a "normal" day here in Denver.  We got up, made coffee, Donna read the newspaper (online, we aren't that old), I played Animal Crossing, and then we took Francis for a well deserved walk.  We headed over to The South Platt River and then followed it to Cherry Creek.  We then crossed Cherry Creek via a footbridge and then tried to walk up the South Platt River along the Kayak Park but we were blocked by construction vehicles working on the bridge above.  We changed our route to cross the South Platt again and then walk downstream to another footbridge and then complete a full circle.  It was a nice walk and Francis enjoyed it.

Where Cherry Creek meets The South Platt River.  The bridge you see is the one being "constructioned" upon.

This is where the Kayaking area ends and there are steps so you can get out and walk back up and do it all again.

No one was in the water this morning.

I guess they want to get the word out that Denver is a Topless Equality City.  DenverGoTopless lays it all out for you. 

Both cyclists and pedestrians use the walkways around the rivers.  Some sections are separated walking and biking and some sections are shared.

It's getting late in the season but there are still a few flowers holding on.

Maybe we will go to the Bazaar on Friday.

The rest of the day was filled with grocery shopping, cooking, doing chores, and lounging.  It was a nice today to relax.  As of right now, we have plans to get together with friends on Wednesday and Thursday so a rest is good.

That's it for today.  If you missed The Denver Zoo, check it out.  We went to the Denver Zoo.  Oh sorry, should have said, "SPOILER ALERT".  Now the surprise is ruined.
