Sunday 27th May we drove from Chinle to Durango. Spectacular scenery paved the way. Durango, an old Colorado mining town with Victorian-era saloons is torn between its ragtime past and a cool, cutting edge future where town bikes and caffeine and farmers markets rule.
Durango
We stayed at the Strater Hotel, where the past is present in its western ambiance from the rooms to the bars. We did a self guided historical walk around town which allowed us to soak up the excitement of an old Western town.
Strater Hotel
Our first night was fantastic, spent in the Office Spitorium, a small intermit western bar, at the Hotel. We were entertained by Joel Rackeff, a great local singer and from the audience, "Molly", the fabulous Molly, a guest who just happened to be a singer from the Michigan band, Vox vidorra. She was fantastic. Just a great night.

Monday 28th May, still in Durango, we tried to get to Silverton. There was too much snow, the roads were dangerous, so we turned back. We visited train Museum as the Silverton train come into the station.
Our final night saw us having dinner at Ken and Suzy's.
