Historic house in Durango
It was a short drive across to Durango this morning, so we arrived at our RV park site early. The site we were supposed to be in was not yet empty, so they gave us a different one. We set up the trailer, found that the water hose was dripping and then ate lunch.
After lunch we drove back to Durango (we are about 5 km north of the town) and first stopped at a flea market, where we bought four books for one dollar. Then we drove to Old Town Durango, the center of the historic district, which has been generally very nicely refurbished. It reminded me of Banff with all it’s tourist shops, though quite a bit bigger. We walked around looking at some of the older buildings (though none are really old, the town having been founded in the early 1880’s), and did some shopping. I looked for hiking boots, but didn’t find any I really liked. I did buy a new pair of running shoes which were on sale. The highlight purchase though was some chocolate almond bark and macadamia nut clusters in dark chocolate. After looking at the shopping section we walked through the area with the oldest houses.
Following that we drove to Walmart where I bought a new hose coupling. That did stop the leaking water hose. Perhaps though I should have left it leaking, as it is supposed to get quite cold tonight, and I don’t want our water pipes to freeze.
