Durango CO

Heading 45 miles east for one more stop in Colorado, Durango. I'm assuming that we're heading farther into the desert, but as we drive, the trees start to reappear. As it turns out, Durango is a pretty Colorado town down (as in lower in altitude) at the southern end of Hwy 550 (the Million Dollar Highway)...

We're staying at Alpen Rose RV Park. It's got lots of trees with golden leaves and is wonderfully empty because it's getting ready to close for the season at the end of the month.

The best part for Tank is their 2 acre dog run. Tank loves it! He sprints from one end to the other every time he visits.

Downtown Durango has a comfortable, homey feel. It has lots of eateries and is lively at night. It has some pretty terrific things, one being delicious Tibetan, Nepalese, and Indian food at the Himalayan Kitchen...I never knew home made naan was soooo heavenly...

Sherpa Stew (a lamb and chicken curry stew)

Daal Bhaat Masu (lentil soup, two curries, yogurt, cucumber, and basmati rice)

another is Southwest Sound, a little music store that had a lot of oldie CDs for Wendy.

For Tom, Durango proved to be a pickleball mecca. According to Tom, they have a couple of ex-professional tennis players who are are 5.0 ranked pickleball players, (Tom readily admits to have received a sound whuppin). All in all though, very good competition there . So, of course, we had to spend a couple of extra days there.
