It is definitely a tourist town...... with the ski resort crested Butte 35 miles to the north, and Gunnison Colorado to the south where everyone that worked for the wealthy would live!π

Well, I'm sure it's a wonderful place to visit, but living there is a whole different matter entirely! πππβ¨π€
So very true my friend..... tourist don't see what goes on behind the scenes!π
You can't use this terminology anymore........... but the locals in Gunnison had a saying, they called the tourist "terrorist" they would come in, spend their money, sometimes wreck havoc with the town, and then leave!π³
Very much so, my friend, they only see the pretty surface! Yes, sadly I've seen that exact behavior in other places, which is one reason I never wanted to be seen as a tourist in any place that I visited. I like to get to know places more deeply. πππβ¨π€
Living in a tourist town you definitely see things for a different perspectiveβ¦β¦
Nowadays, if we go anywhere, I make sure we blend in!π
It's a very different perspective indeed, and ditto that, my friend, that's my modus operandi as well! πππβ¨π€
My youngest son told me that when he travels to Hungary that that's how he operates as well he tries to blend in........
Interesting he did say that if he runs into trouble anywhere in the world, if you tell them you're American usually the situation can be resolved quickly I guess we hold clout!ππ
He's a smart fellow! That's interesting about mentioning being American to make situations go more smoothly. I think I've heard that too, and indeed, in many places! πππβ¨π€
He was saying when they travel Hungary, if they run into any problems on the way they just mentioned their Americans!πππ
I imagine that would work in some places, like Hungary, a lot better than other places! πππβ¨π€
Probably true my friendππ
