Today we had an easy day in Pagosa Springs. After sleeping some more minutes than the days before we went to the local City Market to get something for breakfast. Afterwards we had a delicious meal in our condo.

Then we took a tour through the town, to see what has changed during the last 10 years since our last visit. A number of new homes have been built, and it's still amazing to see what area the city takes compared to the number of residents: approximately 850.000 acres with about 10.000 people...

After that we stopped at some gift shops - eventually we are always looking for some nice souvenirs. In the afternoon we did a trip to Williams Lake, a lake wonderfully located in between the mountains, gorgeous to look at.

Returning to Pagosa it was time for dinner, today we headed for some Chinese food. So we found the Shang Hai - the meals were tasty and we were full afterwards. But some ice cream for dessert still found its way...
