Tour Trinidad

This weekend the weather was finally warm enough for Mike and I to take a walk around town. It's something we've been wanting to do for the past couple weekends, but it's always been too cold! However, this weekend the weather was in the 60s and it was wonderful! We walked from our house down to Main Street and then down another popular road called Commercial Street. We checked out the different shops and restaurants as went and talked to some super nice people at the local archery shop. They even gave us some suggestions about other things we can do on the weekends. After we'd walked for a little while we stopped for lunch at a place I'd been eyeing for a while. It's called The Cafe and it's super cute inside! It's wooden floors throughout, but the entry has a decorative checkered pattern. It's decorated with strung lights and other rustic charm. The food is similar to Panera with different sandwiches and salads. I can't wait to go back! After lunch we took our time and walked back home. It was a really great afternoon.

Trinidad was a mining town until recently. From what I've heard from the locals, the mines closed about three years ago. The two monuments are dedicated to the miners and are located on Main Street.

This is The Bell Block business complex. When you walk inside there are several offices for doctors, accounting, etc. On the bottom floor there is a Mexican restaurant called Mission by the Bell. Mike and I have eaten there once so far and it was really good. My favorite restaurant in Florida has got to be Tijuana Flats, which I would categorize as Mexican-American food. The Mexican food here in Trinidad is real Mexican food (with the exception to Taco Bell). A little different than what I'm used to, but really good!

The Bella Luna Pizzeria is where we have eaten out at the most so far here in Trinidad. I think we've been there three or four times. It has a nice atmosphere and delicious pizza!

This is The Cafe we ate lunch at this weekend. It has a nice outside sitting area too, but we went ahead and ate inside.

The brick building is the local fire department and the building next to it is city hall.

So that's the little tour of what Main Street and Commercial Street look like. It's so different to be able to walk from our house to so many shops and restaurants. I can't wait for the weather to stay warm so we can do this more often. As Mike and I visit more areas of Trinidad I'll try to do more tours!
