In 2000 Leary took me to Paris, France to celebrate the new millennium. We stayed in a Chateau (Domain Belsbat) just outside of Paris. It was absolutely lovely! Since then, Domain Belsbat has been my benchmark for lodging. However, perspective is a funny thing. After two nights of van camping, we finally got a hotel last night. We pulled up to the Trinidad Motor Inn (in Trinidad, CO). While waiting at the front desk, a guy with long hair and a LOT of tattoos ran out from another room where Bryan Adams music could be heard in the background. "Sorry about the wait," he said. "It's karaoke night and we were just singing away in the back room." My friend MJ would love this place!
For an extra ten bucks ($70 total) we got a deluxe suite with two king beds. After taking a much needed shower (loved the gold tile but apparently shampoo and hair dryer were not part of the delux package), I fell into my own bed - the boys had to share theirs :-)
Perhaps Trinidad is my Colorado version of Domain Belsbat! But don't tell Leary ;-)
