Exploring Tucson

---

Hi All,
Today is Wednesday, the 16th. It was about a week ago that I wrote the first entry. We've had better weather since then.

Today Larry and I visited the San Xavier Mission again. We took time to explore the museum, walk up the hill, and really enjoy the 300 year-old Spanish Mission. It is awesome.

Today has been a banner day for seeing Road Runners also. There were two around the resort this am, and then one at the mission that I swear was posing for photos, asking us if he got his good side.

We also visited a casino and a copper mine today. You notice I'm not bragging about my winnings. 😊

Yesterday Fran, Lee, Larry and I hiked in Sabino Canyon, it is located in a state park. We had perfect weather, and really enjoyed the 3.8 mile hike. We saw a few small deer, some pretty birds, and lots, and lots of different kinds of cactus.

I'm trying to incorporate our photos into the blog - we'll see how this turns out. Thanks for writing. I have read all your comments. And for those of you that are getting this for the first time, I just want you to know that the first one went out to only a few, as a test case. You can go back and read the first one if you like.

Tomorrow we are heading up to a swap meet that is supposed to have over 700 booths. It's at Mesa Verde near Phoenix.

There is a section that is covered because they are restoring the adobe finish.
