Jailhouse Walk

Jailhouse Arts, Gallery and Studio, Main St, Buena Vista, served fabulous snacks for the body, mind, and spirits tonight. I basically ate dinner there, and listened to a very sweet gentleman play a 'stick' guitar (video).  The Art Walk also had wonderful pieces of Brynn Ronning's work featured at the Asian Palate, (where the tom ka gai soup is addictive, but the pad thai a complete disappointment) and the Coffee Roastery tonight, which featured a little bluegrass duo (video).

Buena Vista

Buena Vista, Colorado, pronounced by the locals in the German fashion, "be-yooooo-na-vista," has to be one of the most fashionable one stop light towns I've ever seen.  And right in the heart of the tiny downtown, the Buena Vista Coffee Roastery and Bakery.  We stop in at least twice a day.  One only has to glance around town to see where the local artist Jessie Orlet (whose paintings are displayed at the roastery) has drawn inspiration; there are horses and deer grazing in every other lot.

the architecture here is so hilariously and fantastically country western, in the best possible way
