Flat Jonathan rolled into town this weekend with Active Rainer Kristal Kraft after a fun-filled road trip to Denver he was ready to get out of the car and take a look around the city.

After reading my blog at http://www.denverfresh.com/ he really wanted to take a bike ride through the paths of Denver so we started out at the REI Flagship store to get him decked out with a bike.  Safety first, so we got him a helmet.  To our dismay the REI had NO bikes available for a 9-inch tall FJ?!  After a little persuasion he convinced me that I could pedal the both of us on my bike. 

We worked up quiet the appetite pedaling the Cherry Creek path and needed some fuel.  Jonathan couldn't help but comment how fit and active the Denverites were and how he'd love to take some steps to having healthier habits.  The comment brought us to the Whole Foods Market where we could get good, healthy grub for lunch.  I realized after Jonathan demanded we stop at about 23 free food sample stations that perhaps his health living speech was merely a ploy for free samples.  My suspicions were confirmed after he declare he was too full to even eat antoher bite so we left without buying anything for lunch.

The lazy Sunday afternoon brought us to a stroll around Washington Park where the geese were wildly attracted to Jonathan's pale complexion and mistook his head for stale bread tidbits.  I swooped him up just in the nick of time and we ran back to the car for a quick get-away.

As evening rolled around and the rain started to fall we decided that a quick run and yoga class would keep us dry and indoors.  At the gym he befriended a young runner and asked for some pointers on how to shave some time off his already low 5-minute mile (sure, Jonathan).  I was a little skeptical about him enjoying the yoga at Core Power Yoga but I was amazed at his flexibilty and endurance through the entire class.

As a cap to our day we finished off with a nice, Colorado microbrew beer, Sunshine Wheat (New Belgium Brewing Co). My mistake was not warning Jonathan that the high altitude will have an effect on his tolerance for alcohol and before we knew it he had downed two beers bigger than him and was composing and singing a new AR theme song in the middle of the pub!! Oh dear. 

I really feel for him and his poor, poor paperhead today as I know he's traveling to Kansas to continue his flat world adventures.   

Keep track of Flat Johnny as his adventures continue.
