A day in Denver

We had a couple of tips for things we should see and do in Denver, so we took a day to check them out.  We started out by walking downtown.  Downtown Denver is very pleasant, if not exactly 'happening' on a Sunday.
Wait, they have buildings in Colorado?
From there we moseyed to the exhibition center, which had a modern art convention or something.  The Liar paid more attention than I did.  I just liked the huge blue bear, which he said was called "Now I see."
The Hammer vs the bear
Underneath was a tram terminal, so we hopped a trolley south to the uni campus.  On the tram we met a bunch of people who had competed that morning in the Denver marathon (we were beginning to suspect this was becoming a 'watching marathons' tour of America).  They were able to point us towards all the stuff we should see in the area.
Another day, another uni campus
This included Mustard's Last Stand, a 'Chicago-type eatery' with branches all across the USA.  They made very good hotdogs.
The Double Dog, with mustard, onion and sauerkraut.
Afterwards we found a bar down the street which served beer and showed football, thereby earning a tick in every box.  We also learned it's quite difficult to get a cab on a Sunday night in Denver.
