4:30 is early for the alarm to buzz. But we were up, bror Erik helped us out the door with our suitcases. So glad I have a travel buddy that appreciates to have everything we might need with her. That makes two of us. Supposedly light packers. :)
Taxi to airport and it took only an hour from taxi left house until we were through security - not bad at all.
Trip to Denver was easy. 3,5 hours from Vancouver and we landed in light snow. Warmed up at a Mexican restaurant for lunch. And had to taste the Bloody Mary and margarita. Yummee
Flight to Durango southwest of Denver only an hour. And landed in this starting point for our travels for next three weeks.
Nice car, we squeezed our bags in and drove the short 20 minutes to Durango, went shopping for groceries and wine.
The sky was gray and curtains of darker gray rain hang down from the sky and in places the sun shone through and lit up the distant mountains like a projector. The hills around Durango were covered by small trees with criss cross sandy roads that seemed to go nowhere. I wonder where?
Found our hotel at Durango downtown inn and emptied stuff and reorganized our bags a bit. Maybe they don't need to be so heavy :(
The river ran by us, happy screams brought kayaks and rubber boats drifting down the river. Looked like fun.
The naked gray trees have just given birth to green. Yellow green. Drak green. Blue green. Against the multi colored grey skies they were full of vibrant life. Like putting on a new layer of clothes. Spring is here. The sun came out and it was warm.
While we had our appys, we checked out durangos restaurants. From the numerous choices we decided on the cypress cafe. Excellent food for very little money. 45$usd for two people! Check out the menu here!
