Denver.


Last Friday I went downtown to Denver with my exchange group. On the picture above you can see the view over Denver from the first floor of the Science Museum.
We also went to the Molly Brown House. Molly Brown is a woman which survived the Titanic. She wasn't really fitting into the stereotype of a woman back then. She traveled the world, learned different languages and stood up for more rights for women. She died in 1942 and after her house should get destroyed to build a Parking Spot, the group 'Historic Denver' saved it and restored it. There are a lot of myths going around the house and the guided tour was really interesting. Molly Brown was also known as the unsinkable Molly.
We went to the Spaghetti Factory for lunch, which was really cool. After that we wanted to go Downtown but it was so freezing cold and windy that we decided to do something else...
In Downtown Denver, right next to a Potshop there is a great Store called Voodoo Doughnuts. We had to wait about twenty minutes to get some and I decided to surprise my Host Family with a fresh Doughnut delivery. All in all it was a great day, and I met a few people I never saw before. So whenever you should go to Denver and you don't know what to do, just go to the Molly Brown House and join spontaneous a guided tour; after that grab a weird Doughnut at Voodoo, maybe one with Bacon on it, and your day will be definitely awesome.
