Nearing the End

We had a great day today. Drove to Tombstone, Arizona. It is about 75 miles from Tuscon where we are staying.  We first went into the Court House. $5 each to walk around the place. Everywhere you went, it was $5 per person. Even to watch a 'shoot out'. They had them on every street corner it seemed  but you had to pay to watch. We didn't bother. Who likes blood anyway? Actually, overall, it was a very neat town but we think they did ' nickle & dime' you too much. We finally stopped for lunch in a 'saloon' - food was decent - old fashioned sasparella (root beer) and pepsi - but the singer was a bit course - kept saying this was a 'bar' so if you didn't like it, you could leave.  We left.

Tried to see the Kartchner Caverns near Benson but they were all booked up. It was 1 pm and they said nothing was available until 4:45 and that was only for 2 people, not 4. So...we headed home. We had an hour or two before our game at the U of Arizona to watch SCU against UofA (actually that is U of Arizona, not University of Alberta for those who live in Canada)!

The game started at 6 pm so we were headed there for 5 pm to catch the pre-game festivities. Unfortunately we did not win the game. But..it was a great thrill just to be watching the sunset from the high seats!!!! It was a good night - a little on the cool side. I wish I had one more jacket or pullover to wear as the wind was cool. Still, I only had on a t-shirt, long sleeve pulloveer, a v-neck long sleeve sweater and hoodie. So I didn't freeze, but it would have been nice to have one more layer!!



SCU & UofA

Tomorrow we head home. Don't leave until 8 pm so we have a late check out here and a leisurely drive. Might try to drive out to the Airport Graveyard outside of town about 10 am. Should be interesting. A leisurely lunch at Cheesecake Cafe, checkout and head back to Phoenix. All in all, a pretty nice week.
