We drove out to the town of Tombstone today. Lots of Stage Coaches and cowboys on the dirt streets. It was kind of neat but very commercialized. There were gun fights.... for a fee, stage coach rides....for a fee, entrance to shows in some of the buildings......for a fee.......get the picture? We walked through the town and then had lunch at a tavern called Big Nose Kate’s. We were surprised that the food was as good as it was for the price that we paid.

We had lots of time left in the day so we drove on to the town of Bisbee. a very interesting, out of character looking place, compared to other towns in this area. It is built on the sides of canyon walls and reminds me very much of cities in Europe. Very narrow twisty roads with lots of buildings clinging to the hillsides. A very neat little spot.

On the way out of town we spotted a working copper mine.....a huge hole in the ground. Going home we drove through Sierra Vista, a relatively new housing development.

We had a rather severe temperature drop around midday and when we went down to the hot tub it was downright brisk.
