Syncline By Albert Paley

Contemporary sculptor Albert Paley has created a new permanent sculpture for Breckenridge, Colorado. This the first time anything from Albert has been commissioned by the state of Colorado. It is a sight to see and even touch! I went to check it out for myself and it was very impressive. Even the children around it knew it was not for climbing but for looking and appreciating. They sat in its shade and enjoyed the art in a unique way.  Albert Paley has work in the Smithsonian Institution to the Metropolitan Museum of Art so we are so privileged to have him create something special for Breckenridge. The sculpture is perfectly placed at our Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge and what a stage it has. The area has recently received a face lift and the sculpture is definitely the highlight with its amazing metal work. Standing at a towering 24 feet tall, the sculpture invites you to get close, take pictures and bask in its blue glory. More details about this great piece of art can be found on the BreckCreate Website . Head down to the Riverwalk Center and check it out for yourself!

WAVE had its opening day and it was a home run for the festival! The popularity of the exhibits have been nothing short of amazing. The best time to go is after dark but it is well worth it. Check out inviting exhibits like the “Angels of Freedom” exhibit by OGE Group. It has a pair illuminated wings and a halo that calls for you to stand under it.  Be mind blown by “Elantica” created by  Tom Dekyvere. It will make the wheels in your head turn as solar panels and e-waste join hands in this futuristic sculpture. But wait, this weekend can be filled with more than just lights.

These are my favorites in no particular order.

China Szechuan in Frisco- Quality meat sets them apart from most restaurants. I’ve noticed that Chinese food doesn’t get really spicy-hot, so I order extra spicy because it kicks up the flavor a notch. I suggest the tangerine chicken with crab cream cheese rangoons and/or pot stickers.

Giam Pietro’s in Breckenridge- The best thing there is the oil with tomatoes that they serve with the bread; it’s phenomenal!  The arancini (fried risotto and mozzarella balls) is a warm, wholesome hug for your tongue.  Try it with a white wine, or a cider.  If you have a big appetite then order a calzone.  The crust is crispy and light and you can choose your stuffing.  Of course, you can’t go wrong with pizza.

Nepal Restaurant in Silverthorne- All the vegetarian dishes are amazing, the cheese garlic naan is wonderful, and the low prices will keep you going back for more.  WARNING- spicy here means scald-your-taste-buds hot.  I love spicy, but here i order mild.

Dillon Dam Brewery– When you want a really good burger order a bison burger medium rare. if you’re a mustard connoisseur try the Flying Dutchman – smoked Gouda cheese, apple slaw and a side of beer mustard.  The Rodeo (BBQ sauce, smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and braised onions) is my favorite.

Well, I’m hungry now.  So tell us what your favorites are and ask your driver what his/hers is.  Riding up with strangers?  Start a convo about food- you’ll never go wrong. Everyone loves food!
