I need some inspiration this weekend! It is also First Saturdays in Denver!

That means I can get into both the Denver Art Museum (DAM) and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) together for just a penny! It is about a mile and a half walk between the two museums and if I get lazy (or short on time) I can always take the Free Bus Shuttle on the 16th Street Mall to cover about 15 blocks between the two locations. When I go for a hike, I usually hike at altitude for 6+ miles. This seems like a good time to try out my flaneuring skills and see a new side of Denver! Hopefully I can make a few new sketches, write some poetry, take some pics, and take in some (not so fresh) air in the Mile High City!

MCA Denver hosts Penny Saturdays on the first Saturday of every month for the Fall 2019 and the first part of 2020.
