Today, a day trip to Mesa Verde is on the agenda. The Anazasi Cliff Dwellings there are among the largest of their kind. A bit quieter than planned, the only way leads on foot to the Spruce House.

The Mesa Top View loop is done by car. The back thanks it.

In the evening I went to the pharmacy and got some painkillers. That will probably make it feel better. The pharmacy is part of the local Walmart. Small counter with ordered medications. The over the counter medications are on normal shelves inside the store. Next to the dental care products, there are three shelves for them.

Then a quick walk through Durango looking for a nice steak. It is an old western town which – especially in the historic part – is strongly trimmed on tourism commerce.

At Fancisco’s you will find what you are looking for. A nice thick “Steak Durango” with homemade marinade. Wonderful!
