Durango is an attractive anachronism, a late-nineteenth-century town where tourists and vacationers have replaced earlier industrial development. The visitor support a wide selection of restaurants, two historic hotels, and a range of boutique shops. despite bitter cold -- 22 degrees early in the morning -- we spent a pleasant few hours exploring.
Later we returned to the museum, where the curator of the Durango Collection gave us a tour of the treasures in storage and then provided valuable commentary on the textiles in the museum's current exhibit of Navajo and Rio Grande blankets. A rare experience, and a great send-off as we take off for Chinle and our turn at weaving the Navajo way tomorrow.
