Looking around Durango

The first sculpture I found on 2nd Avenue. The building on the corner behind it is the Durango Art Center (more on it in another post.)

And here is Puck.

I finally attended the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Durango.

I enjoyed the sermon by Rev. Jamie Boyce,  as well as the music by the choir, now known as the Diversitones.

Interesting sculpture near the banks of the Animas River.

Not sure of the name of the hotel on that corner, and I just noticed it even has a mural painted on the side. Must go back and capture a photo of it.

Main Avenue is one of the best shopping opportunities for tourists...as I  waited for the car ahead of me who waited for a pedestrian. The laws are observed giving pedestrians right of way, but with all the tourists in town, it's sometimes something they have to gradually learn! But many of them still ride the bumper of a car (like mine) which is slowly moving while looking at things.

I remember last year enjoying ice cream in that sidewalk area with my son and daughter-in-law. Need to go back there while it's still warm out during the days. (Down to the 40s at night already!)

These sidewalk eateries are a carryover from the pandemic, when people didn't want to be close to each other but still wanted to eat out...so cities all over the country (the world I wonder?) closed areas on the streets where restaurants could set up outdoor venues. Smart ones still have them, though I do miss having the parking places.

Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.
