Durango

Here are some photos of Durango Colorado in the San Juan mountains taken last weekend. Unfortunately DH had the flash on the entire time he took these photos!

We lived in Durango for 15 years prior to coming to NM so DH could get his Ph.D. After he was finished with school the housing prices in Durango had become so insanely high (and still are) that we realized we could not go back even though DH was offered a job there. At the time that was really hard as all our friends are there but after this latest trip I realize it was a blessing in disguise. I think we need to live somewhere larger. Fortunately we're still close enough to visit.



This photo was taken from Fort Lewis College near the softball fields.



Here is the Animas River which runs through town.



The General Palmer hotel on the right in downtown Durango.

Next week I will have some colorwork alpaca fingerless mitts to show you.
