The Official Diplomatic Mission to The Denver by The Duchess of Heckofalot

When my mommy, The Princess, originally informed me that we would be making a special diplomatic mission to a land referred to as “Denver” I had no idea what the heck she was talking about. All I knew was that I was excited to go on my first diplomatic mission. So, I had The Butler use a special tool designed to search for all the worlds information (I don’t remember the name of it – Goo Goo, I think) to research what a Denver was.

First, he returned with the following results:

Denver Omelette

John Denver

Now, I may be young but I am not a stupidhead and The Princess said this was a place and not a thing so I had The Butler refine his search on the Goo Goo. It was then that he returned with the following:

Denver, CO

Now that looks like an interesting place. One that is worthy of our exploring “official diplomatic ties” with. It was only then that I agreed to go to The Denver and explore their cultural institutions to see if it would be a good fit for Heckofalot (i.e. if we could invade them and make them our subjects).

Here are The Princess and I arriving in The Denver. I really enjoyed my first plane ride. I enjoyed it to the point of exhaustion so I slept the whole way there:

We stayed, of course, in the nicest hotel in The Denver where they prepared the most luxurious suite and provided every amenity. Here I am testing out my bed to make sure it met our royal standards (i.e. no peas):

Then, it was off to enjoy a feast, held in our honor of course, at a local “Brew Pub”. Being that I do not eat such food and drink, I had The Butler report to me that the beer was good and that the Shepherds Pie, while made with lamb as opposed to beef, was acceptable. Here are the dignitaries that came to greet The Princess and I:

Following dinner was the ubiquitous carriage ride through the center of The Denver where many crowds were on hand to welcome us as the conquering heroes royal visitors we are.

Next, we visited their art museums to see what a fine collection they had.

If we did decide to invade, we would keep most of the modern collection, auction the asian and native collections, and eBay the British portraits (White people with crooked teeth kind of creep me out).

All in all, our mission to The Denver was a successful one and we look forward to many fruitful conversations with them in the future.
