What a day!!! If the rest of the week is anything like today, we're in for a wild ride. Today started like any other. We checked into our rooms here at the Red Lion Hotel. Pretty nice spot so far, but I'll keep you posted. After getting settled in, we caught the light rail to dowtown  Denver. Houston  please take note, you could learn  a thing or two from this rail system. It runs all around the city. We went to a Green Piece Festival. There were all kinds of energy saving gizmos and gadgets. Clothes made of 100% Hemp, waterless toilets, waterless water, etc. It was pretty lame until I got to the organic vodka tent. This peaked my interest and thought it would peak yours as well. Because I wanted to be able to report to you with as much accuracy as possible, I felt I had to take one for the team, so I had a glass with a cranberry mixer. I wasn't quite sure with only one drink, so I decided to take another one for the team. Needless to say, the festival wasn't that lame anymore.

After leaving the festival, and taking in more scenery of downtown Denver, we started back towards the train terminal. As we approached the terminal, there were huge masses of people, and behind them stood platoons of heavily armed and geared up riot police. They had helmets, vest, cuffs, tasers, glocs, billy clubs, bobby clubs, harry clubs, brass knuckles etc. They looked like an army of ROBOCOPS. It turns out that there were some protesters blocking the light rail tracks. With such a show of force, the protesters were quickly disposed of.....I mean dispersed rather quickly.

 We walked a few more blocks and ran into another group of protesters. It was two Hillary protesters. Yes, two. Only two. With all the hype given to this story by the media. You would swear there were armys of them. I'm not saying they're not here, I just don't see them.I decided to engage them in conversation and they weren't able to give me one single reason why they were not voting for Barack. After 2 minutes, I knew I wouldn't get any where with them, so we moved on towards the train. My day gets much more exciting, but its exactly 03:50 in the morning, and I have to be at my delegation meeting at 0700.  I have to sign off now, but stay tuned for the rest of my story. You don't want to miss it.
