MY SENIOR CHALLENGES AND TRIUMPHS MOVING TO A NEW TOWN IN COLORADO!

Finding Jean Pierre

 

Durango old town.



It was right at the corner of Main Ave and College. But I had to get there early to get a parking spot right in front.

And in case the tourists have other tastes than coffee, there's the adjacent wine room.






Of course there are little sidewalk tables and chairs also. I took mine to go that early morning! As far as croissants go, they were just so-so. I prefer the fillings to be in the middle, rather than along just one side. 

My daughter-in-law in St. Petersburg FL sells macarons at various outdoor venues, as well as the recent Comicon in the convention center. Hers have more fillings!

I had not had any coffee yet when I drove the half mile to pick up breakfast. It was nice to have an Americano fixed by a barista.

  2. I think that Durango Old Town is a wonderful place to explore, Barbara, and that bakery is a good stop as well.

    1. I can't wait to go to shop after shop, like a regular tourist. For now I'm still figuring out where to put things in the apartment, getting the various support services squared away, and beginning to go out in the community of people I might become friends with.

    1. It looks like a place I'll go back to, and maybe sit and sip and talk with a new friend or two...
