The Great Flood of 2013

On Wednesday September 11 2013

With Duncan Madog at Swetsville zoo

It was a nice day for a bike ride to the zoo, but then clouds rolled in and it started to look like rain so we started home. Waves of rain held us up, first near the Council Tree Library and then in front of the Pet Smart (Duncan loved that!)

Then on Friday, Septmber 13th: Still raining!

In the midst of damaged roads and bridges from Estes Park to Greeley, we drove to Regis University in Denver for the Asian Student Alliance’s Moon Festival.

There was dancing

Taio Zhugan or the Chinese pole dance which looks similar to the Tinikling dance from the Philippines.

The audience

Considering what was happening to nearby communities this was an amazing crowd. I really didn’t expect so many people could come to this event.

Gamelan was performed there

We made very good time getting into Denver and the people at Regis were great hosts. It was a good time but getting back home was a little rough. We had a few problems getting back home due to road closures.
