Grand Junction - the town where we've never been before

We've been on our way to Colorado National Monument and passing through Grand Junction. Another place we've passed by but never stopped before. The rains paused and we decided to stop there, stretch our legs and have a bite.

 

The old town is small, just a few blocks so it didn't take long to walk it up and down. But we loved it! It was so green and nice... The trees were everywhere as the flowers. Everything looked so colorful at the end of May.

Another thing that caught our eye was art. Every corner had a piece of it. Meaning four sculptures at the every end of the block.

 

Modern and old fashioned. Nice and... mmm... not too appealing. But all of them were for sale. Yep, the price tag was attached to every piece and... I think this is a really interesting idea - to decorate the town and also to help sell the work of the local artists.

 

So... we spent some time there, enjoyed this time between rains and had some bagels ;) And got into the car just when the first drops started pounding on the roof. The pause ended and the new rain was coming...
