Along the way to the Great Sand Dunes of Colorado, I stopped off at Alamosa. I decided to eat something other than peanut butter sandwiches and stopped off at a rather off-beat restaurant that offered the best Mexican food I’ve ever tasted. Keep in mind I’ve only been eating Mexican food from Canada and a few north-eastern states.
Look out for Mrs. Rivera’s Kitchen … ! I wasn’t sure what to order but after pondering life, the waitress kindly offered a few suggestions. Ended up with the grand spicy chicken burrito with pork green chilli. Might I add that the chilli was amazing 
All that through this entrance. Unfortunately eating peanut butter sandwiches won’t be the same now.

The result of a series of fires from 2001-2003. Amazing that so many years later, nature is still recovering.
I was speaking with Ellen Ewart a few weeks ago about how there is some sort of Chinese restaurant in nearly any city or town — seriously amusing! There seems to be this chain in the states called Hunan — it appears popular in Colorado. No I did not try it.

WiFi malfunctioned yesterday but today the SD card isn’t working with the XO Laptop properly so I only have one photo to share.
That said, I did get to drive the US-550 Million Dollar Highway! Oddly enough, a lot of people online note how scary it is driving on it but it is actually pretty easy — just follow the speed limits, take it easy, and enjoy the view.
For some reason, the weather forecasts keep telling me that it will thunderstorm wherever I go. It makes for some interesting driving.
Interests of Today
A little but amazing museum in Montrose, CO documenting the history of the Ute American Indians. Wish it were larger and that I could stay longer in time for the festivities.
Ran around the Black Canyon of Gunnison … definitely worth seeing. I’d say more so than the Grand Canyon of Arizona. Cost me $15 but absolutely worth it.
My Name is Just a Name
More people have continued to note the spelling of my name. As I joked with one lady, yes… that’s right, my parents decided before I was born to keep people on their toes by picking a name that no one can ever simply spell out just by listening to the pronunciation
Customer Service = Mind Reading
I stopped off at a motel one night and the woman working at the front desk was very kind. She didn’t wait for me to ask about the area and just told me everything I wanted to know. I asked her if she was psychic.
Along the way to Montrose, CO — there were many notable stops, one of which was this:
