We are well to do but not materialistic. We enjoy life and all the experiences it might provide. We have two grown children that we adopted from Korea when they were babies.

METROPOLITAN AREA:

Durango Colorado is located in the four corners of the United States. This gives you access to some of the most beautiful areas of the USA. Canyon Lands, Arches National Park, Valley of the Gods, Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, The Millions Dollar Highway, Telluride, Silverton, Ouray, the Grand Canyon, Brice and Zion.
Durango experiences 310 days/year of clear blue skies. Dry, cool in the shade, warm in the sun. In the winter we get the very best powder with 2-4 days storms followed by limpid blue skies. This happens like clock work. The Town is charming with great restaurants, an old downtown, hot springs one mile from the house and many cultural events nearly every weekend. Fort Lewis College has one of the best auditorium's acoustic in the USA and attracts amazing venues. Music in the Mountain at the ski resort is a world class event every summer.
Of course there is the world famous narrow gauge Durango-Silverton train.
