The Fort Restaurant

Bob and Jorge in the courtyard of The Fort

Many times over the almost 25 years that we hosted international adults in our home, it was the visitors who introduced us to places in our own city and state.  Though we had visited this restaurant over 30 years ago, we had little memory of it.  We knew that in 1993, when the G-8 was held in Denver, the dignitaries including Bill and Hillary Clinton had had a private party there.  When Jorge and Carmen invited us to this restaurant it was as if we were experiencing iit for the first time.    We arrived in late afternoon to really absorb the ambiance and take a few photos.

The four of us before we ate our various meals of bison, elk and quail.

Friends from Chile

Raclette dinner at Paula and Dave's in honor of our mutual Chilean friends.

This was the first time the six of us had been together since we and our friends had visited Carmen and Jorge in Chile in 2004.  Though we stay in touch by email and messenger, there is nothing like personal contact.

Good friends enjoying some fine Chilean wine.
