We arrived in Farmington NM on Sunday, 20 September and got all set up at McGee Campground. The convention doesn't officially start until Tuesday evening so Elaine and I decided to drive up to Durango. Xena and Tianna were happy to go along. It's high but relatively flat in Farmington but we began to see more mountains as we neared Durango.
Xena was ready to roll down the hill to Main street Durango. We went in Elaine's big truck so you park where you can fit. My little Honda CRV has been feeling poorly ever since Hords Creek so I didn't want to get stuck some place. I wasn't able to get it in for a checkup anywhere along our rolling rally route. Everyone said "next week".
It was a beautiful day for walking along Main Street, sunny but not hot.
Xena said I don't know who this is but it's definitely not my buddy Angus.
Tianna decided she didn't know who this was either.
While Xena practiced an alert and ever watchful stance on her walk, Tianna had to sniff everything on her way and I do mean everything.
A colorful sign off to the side.
There are no real talk buildings in Durango but there are some good size ones. I think this was a hotel.
We decided to stop here where they had some nice outside seating.
Elaine went in an ordered a gelato. It was disgusting, obviously melted and rechilled and shouldn't have been sold. After I saw her inedible mess, I went in and ordered this. While they didn't have any sugarfree, they had quite a few unique flavors. I chose this one and it was absolutely fantastic. Zuberfizz is made and bottled right here in Durango. If you ever see it in your travels, I definitely recommend ordering one. Can't speak from personal experience for the other flavors but this one was
wonderful.
Interesting architecture.
Beautiful flowers in front of shops.
Time to go, ummm, I don't think this is where we left the truck Elaine. It's another block up the hill.
We drove further down the road to see the train station.
This is the train yard.
All in all, a great day in Durango.
