The surrounding mountains were just amazing! Liv slept in the car, but Ira was just amazed at everything along the way! Especially the snow still on the mountains. We talked a lot about elevation/ altitude.
Durango itself was pretty tourist oriented. Finding the realness in the city was not easy. We stayed in what is probably considered a 'not so nice' part of town... People were nice, but it really just looked like anywheretown, USA to me.
Then, walking amongst the high end shops and tourist trap shops felt fake. Wasn't the best experience.
Save your money! Go to pagosa springs! That was some great small town charm, people were talkative, open, real....(and it's cheaper there- wish we had known)
The girls were gravitating to this blue door- we stopped there for lunch- it was a locally owned 'relaxed, funky taqueria' and the menu was pretty much chipotle :)
It was delicious, and the decor was adorable! Especially the patio- with it's multilevel wooden decks and stairways with glass lightbulb strands hung- I bet it's a very charming place at night.
