June 5, 2025 - Natalia's - 1912 Restaurant - Silverton, Colorado

 

Sylvia and  were cold, tired and hungry after the train ride up the mountain.  We only had about 2 hours to have something to eat.  Then we would board the train for our ride down the mountain.  I loved the train ride even if it was cold...cold...cold.  The scenery was gorgeous. 

Sylvia ordered the Bowl of Chili…and I ordered the Soup and Sandwich Combo – Grilled Cheese Sandwich and a cup of chili.  Both of us were disappointed that the chili wasn’t piping hot.  It was tepid at  best.  We were hungry after the train ride up here.  We were happy  just to have something to eat.

What gave us a laugh, though, was the sign on the door that everyone was reading.  It said,
“Natalie’s is home to one of the oldest standing bordellos in town. Built in 1883.  Sorry, that service is no longer provided . . . . but the food is great!”

June 4, 2025 - Mi Mexico - Cortez, Colorado

 I visited with Sylvia on our week long vacation.  

I ordered a margarita…and then I ordered Camarones al Mojo de Aho.  It was good…shrimp and mushrooms served in a garlic sauce with rice, beans and flour tortillas.   It was a very typical Mexican meal.   I really loved my dinner.
