We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Durango. This was our first home exchange and we really liked having a homely base to return to at the end of a long day out instead of a hotel room. The house is in an ideal location and we were very comfortable during our stay. Durango is a very interesting town - the steam railway being a particular attraction, and the evening on the Blues Train was one of our favourite activities. An hour's drive in different directions takes you to very contrasting scenery from the hot dry mesas of New Mexico to the rarified atmosphere of jagged mountain peaks, from vineyards to gold mines. Thank you, Amy and David, for your hospitality and the chance to explore a new part of the world.

We had a great time in Albuquerque and were very comfortable in your lovely home. The house has everything anybody could need and more, and is in a lovely area. We could walk to the supermarket and also to several hiking trails. Albuquerque is a very interesting city with lots to see and do and we met very friendly people. There are lots of nearby places to visit with a real spirit of the old west, and terrific scenery. Thank you for the exchange, and thank you for being so reliable.
