Hola Nuggets Nation! This is Kelsey T. of the Denver Nuggets Dancers. We are having a blast in Monterrey, Mexico! The past few days have been incredible. We are enjoying the beautiful, kind, people as well as the gorgeous scenery.
On Day 2, we hiked Chipinque Mountain and got some great exercise. It was lush and green! The dancers and I got some great photos that we are excited to share! We certainly worked up an appetite during our hike and decided to stop for lunch afterwards in a city called San Pedro. It was a glamorous city, and reminded me a lot of Cherry Creek back home in Colorado. The women and men were very well-dressed in suits, dresses and heels.
On Day 3 we explored the hotel’s options and were able to relax by the pool and use the workout facility. The weather has been very warm and humid, just what we needed! We feel very welcome and safe here. Our security team has been extremely helpful and we have already created many special memories with them.
Day 4 has been my favorite thus far! We enjoyed a short hike up to Cola De Caballo where we saw gorgeous waterfalls. A few of the dancers as well as Amy Jo (Dance Teams Manager) rode horses up the trail while the rest of us hiked alongside them. It was a beautiful view! We even got to feel the mist from the waterfalls. It was incredible being that close! Afterwards we got to experience authentic Mexican food at El Charro and it was delicious. I think the dancers and I would agree that the fresh guacamole was our favorite!
Now that we have had a few days to relax after our trip here, we feel well rested and prepared to take on our exciting and eventful week! DND Becca, Alicia, Ariel and Kelsey C. plan on keeping you updated with our busy days to come. We are overjoyed to be here! Talk to you soon, Nuggets fans!
