Durango, Colorado
This is another town with a "special feel" making you want to "be" there. Maybe it's the calming blue sky on a sunny day. Certainly the surrounding mountains create much "energy."

I have been "through" Durango, but never spent any time there. That was a long time ago. Durango feels familar.

Durango has been touched deeply by Native spirits, which still linger, but seem to speak with more muffled voices.

The historic Strater Hotel is pictured in this photo. Durango has done a nice job of retaining its older downtown building base, which is really important in passing along the city's past and connecting it to the future.
