Dear journal,
Travel is always full of unexpected surprises, and today was no exception. What was supposed to be a straightforward flight home turned into an unexpected stay in Denver. The first hiccup came with the weather, causing our flight to be delayed. Before we knew it, the delay turned into a full reschedule for tomorrow. Being adaptable, my brother book a hotel for the night, so we have a bonus day in Denver ahead of us. Not bad, right?
But the surprises didn't end there. On our way to the hotel, the taxi hit the curb and blew a tire. We had to get out and walk the rest of the way in the rain, lugging our bags through the puddles. Despite the mess, I couldn't help but laugh. After all, I had just spent an amazing week with incredible people, and nothing could dampen my spirits.
With a whole extra day in Denver, I'm starting to look at this delay as a bit of an adventure. There are so many things to do and see in this city. I might check out a museum, find a cozy café, or just wander around and take in the sights. There's a certain excitement that comes with unexpected free time in a new place.
Plus, there's something about rain that makes everything seem a bit more dramatic, like a scene from a movie. It's not every day that you get to walk through a city in the rain, feeling like you're on a little adventure of your own. I think I'll make the most of this bonus day and see where it takes us.
Singing in the rain,
Dave
