It was good to get away, even though much of the time was spent on our butts! The drive to Durango took us about 6 hours and the same coming home; the train was a round trip of 7 hours. I guess we take enough trips where we walk all over (hello San Francisco) that one spent sitting is well deserved. We had a fun time. We got in Saturday and scoped out the train and depot. We had dinner at a Brewery and called it a night early. Sunday we took the 8:15 train to Silverton...it was a gorgeous ride and a lot of fun. We spent some time in Silverton, longer than we wanted...our train engine was having problems so we had to connect all the train cars from the 8:15 and 9am trains. It took a while to make it back to Durango, but once there we had dinner at a darling French restaurant. On Monday, Mike took me on a tour of Fort Lewis College, where he spent some time his Freshman year. We diverted through Crestone on the way home, hoping it was more of a spiritual community than it actually ended up being. It was good to get home, but boy we both enjoyed being away!
