The Great Danes at Devyn's, Denver, Colorado

We are now posting this, witnessing a fantastic nature scenery, nearly alien to us at an altitude more than 2500 m - and we're still in the valley. We're on our way to the Yosemite National Park in California, 36 hours from here, arrghh!
We're very sorry about not having posted anything these last couple of days. It's just been crazy, and we've been busy having the time of our lives with our wonderful, crazy, funny host Devyn and her great housemates Robert, Isaac, Julia and Joe!!
We arrived in Denver Friday night around 8 pm after more than 35 hours in the lovely Greyhounds. The 12 hour delay was mostly because of an overnight blizzard covering nearly all of Nebraska. So as you know, we were stuck in Omaha the entire night till 9 am. But who would imagine that we would meet two Danish girls, Laura and Amine, in that terminal in Omaha, NB. Well we did, and ended up exchanging contact info, good stories and conversations. They were headed to Vegas but when we finally arrived to Denver the next bus to Vegas would not be leaving until the next day. So we hooked them up with the other CS host that accepted our request, Tayler - very sweet of us, right :) So after the four of us had a good dinner, we met up with Tayler, had a few beers and left the girls in good care. Taylor seemed like a very nice girl, with great friends as well, and the plan was to stay with her Sunday, but unfortunately that didn't work out, but we'll save that experience for the next time.
Arriving at Devyn's we were completely exhausted and after a quick introduction we went straight to the couches and were completely unaware of the amazing experience awaiting us this weekend.
In the morning we woke up well rested, and were quickly introduced to some of Devyn's housemates, Isaac and Julia - very good people. Of course, also musicians - we don't know why everyone we stay with have some musical talent, we must just be drawed to them. Anyways they played a little duet for us, very nice guys, beautiful! Then Devyn cooked us a very nice breakfast with pancakes and strawberries. You should think there was a lot of people around already, nope though, still two more housemates to go. First Robert, a crazy, funny and great guy - and a trumpet player in a cool folk jazzy blues band. After getting to know them and just chatting in their backyard in the wonderful weather, we took a walk around the city. The highlight was definitely us being very cool in the park jumping of some 8-stepped stairs (check the very pro pics, when we get the chance to post them)
When we came back to the house we got ready for a little trip. Julia was recording an album and needed Devyn to take some pictures of her for the artwork. So together with Devyn, Julia and Robert we drove out to the mountains at a little river. Whilst they did the pictures, we went for a little hike with Robert. It was so beautiful and you could just feel the wild life around you. When we got back to the girls we all jumped in the very very cold river - refreshing indeed! The water was glacier water from the mountains...
Sandwich break, be right back...
The scenery in the area is just amazing, but our small compact camera from the last millennium can't really catch the view... Hopefully we'll get a hold of Devyn's much better pictures!
When we went back to Denver city, Devyn and her roommates decided to throw a house party - the party starts at midnight (said with a real british accent.)
So firstly we made dinner for all the roommates - pasta with tomato sauce and a good salat with Marianne Johansen's famous vinegar-oil dressing.
They loved it, and afterwards we began partying. At first we went to a bar where some of their friends were playing music. It was cool and when the concert was over Devyn announced to the whole bar, that everyone was welcome at their house for the after party - the house was full of all kinds of people. (that house is not small!)
It was cool, and we got to meet a lot of new people! Marco went down to Robert's room to cuddle with him... Robert was pretty wasted and had no idea of what was going on and who was getting in the bed with him. So when Marco got down on the madras Robert woke up and whispered, pretty angrily: "What the fuck... Who the fuck??" and Marco was like: "It's just me Robert, I'm so tired. Can I crash here with you?" and before they both fell asleep Robert said: "Yeah all right, sure. Cool man, good night..." Boom... and they went dreaming away, whilst Kris and the rest of the party rocked on till 4 in the morning.
Next morning (yesterday) we had Mexican breakfast with a great fresh homemade spicy salsa - Robert made it. It was delicious. Because of the hangovers we didn't do much that day - just chillin' with the roommates. By the evening we skated down to the liquor store with Isaac and got some beer. At home Isaac made a great cajun dinner, we drank some beer playing a lot of Danish drinking games - a lot of fun! All Americans are making fun of Kris's British accent and that was, with Marco and Robert's cuddling, the giant topic of conversation.. And laughter! Our English is getting better and better, and we are becoming more and more confident about the foreign language, and more and more confused speaking Danish.
Now we're heading to Merced, California, a little town just outside the famous national park Yosemite! From there we're going on a hike before going to San Francisco. The bus trip takes us through Las Vegas and Los Angeles before heading to Yosemite so it's quite a big detour - we are fortunately getting quite good at entertaining each other so those 36 hours of bus driving is quickly done! And the scenery is as mentioned AMAZING!

Stay tuned, and look out for upcoming pictures on the PicasaWeb - they'll be uploaded as soon as we get a WIFI connection!
Thanks for following our adventure,
Lots of love from two Danes in a completely different breath-taking world
