We had a few errands to run and also decided to visit a house owned by Susie and Al. We found the area but were not exactly sure which house was their house. It is in a nice 
section on the East side of Durango. On the way back we went by the new medical complex which includes a hospital and doctor offices, but in addition has an adjacent shopping and housing area. What a good idea, especially for retired folks, to have everything together within walking distance. Back in town we finished our errands and returned to Alpen Rose RV. Next on the agenda was laundry. Such fun. Not!
In the evening we met friends Byron, Ron and Julie, and Robin and Norm for a goodbye dinner at Sweeney's. This restaurant has been around for years, and in fact Sweeney died a few years ago, but his Aunt Migi decided to keep it open. The prime rib was excellent as was the calamari. At the end of the meal Byron decided to have desert, which was a huge piece of chocolate cake topped with ice cream. Several of us tried to help Byron, but most of it was left when we finally departed. Darrin, the kitchen manager and chef came by for a visit. He is new, but he has appreciated all the business sent to him by the Alpen Rose managers. We think he should do very well, if last night's meal was a good indication. Our waitress, Noel was excellent, too!
Byron, Robin, and Norm returned to the RV park but we, the intrepid four, returned to the Strater hoping for a return visit by the college student piano player. He did stick his head in the door but did not stay. We sampled several different martini drinks, and Foxy got acquainted with the folks at the next table. By the end of our stay she had become friends with Barb, Melissa, Monica, and others. Pictures were taken, and we were invited to park at their house when we next return to the area. Our Christmas list is growing. Foxy can make strangers into friends in an instant. What a talent. Happy travels.
