Thursday in Durango

Bill, Russ, and Gary left at 7:30 for their golf date at Ann & Russ’s club, the Glacier Club.  At 10:00 or so, Greg (driving), me, Elaine, Ann, & Cindy hopped in Ann’s SUV for an Ann-led quick tour of Durango.  We stopped at Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory) for a walk about.

Then we drove into downtown Durango, the old historic section, after a drive through Durango’s Fort Lewis College.  We parked and walked around, finally stopping at the Diamond Belle Saloon at the historic Strater Hotel.  Neat place.  I had the Diamond Burger.  This deserves a page of its own on the menu (click the link – do it!).  And I had pints of Durango Summer Wheat Beer – delicious.

Then it was back to the condo for much deserved and needed naps – well for me and a couple of the golfers at least.

Dinner tonight will be Cindy’s grilled pork tenderloin with barbeque peach sauce accompanied by Dijon mustard grilled potatoes and a spinach and kale blueberry feta cheese salad with lemon vinaigrette.

  1. Oh my, I absolutely LOVEbthese pictures. What fun and town looks cute, with weather marvelous I’m guessing s Elaine has a windbreaker on!! Those glasses for cocktails are a hoot. Say hi to everyone from us, enjoy the 4th. We are heading home very early on Friday morning from Vegas. If you’re watching golf this weekend I have Paul Casey and Kevin Na. LOL!

    Joe, are you riding the motorcycle home? It looks quite spiffy!

  2. WOW! That Diamond Burger is something! Amazing really.

    Your costume suits you! Can’t wait for Halloween.
