Old Tucson and Federal Park

Image
Todays trip was to visit Old Tucson and the Saguaro Federal Park. We are headed to Old Tuscon through downtown Tucson.  This building was built like the building in Monroe City MO where it was a triangle.  You don't see many of them and was surprised to see one here.    We were returning a charger to Radio Shack that is being bought by Sprint.  We came upon the east park before getting there.  We drove the 10 mile winding road on the mountain side.  It was a nice drive and we saw several cactus.  A roadrunner also passed us while waiting in the drive to present our passport.  Too fast for GraMa to get a picture.  We have not seen any wild life at all.  Off course we are home and safe before dark. Next we went to Old Tucson.  I was disappointed because it was not the actual old town, but a tourist trap. This is the scene coming down from the mountain.  A great view of Tucson.  The day was overcast and picture taking was dim. We went to see the Manning House.

This is a view of us getting ready to leave the Mission Bay RV Park in San Diego.  We had a great time with Bill and Patty and saw a lot of wonderful scenery. Headed east through the mountains towards Arizona. This is a view of the dividing fence between US and Mexico. We ended up driving pass Yuma and stayed the night south of Casa Grande in a little park for $15.00 per night. Got up the next morning and filled up with gas.  At the gas station a strange man walked up behind me and told me that he and his pas,tor was going to Mexico to feed the homeless.  Pl.ease pray for him.  Obviously he was nervous. We made it to Benson, AZ  The Benson I-10 RV Park is right off highway 10.  The price was $280 per month plus electricity.  At first we thought it was unfriendly.  I had done the laundry and Gary had put my clothes rack up and I was finishing hanging when the owner stopped and asked if I had not read the rules and regulations.  Nope.  Anyway, I got to finish

Last night we had Greek Cuisine.  I enjoyed the new experience and my meal was very good. Patty and Bill This is the Menu.  Gary had the Gyros Plate and I had the Moussaka.  It was similar to lasagna and made with a m ground mixture of lamb and beef. Up the next morning to eat again at the Broken Yolk.  I had a Mexican Burrito and Gary got experimental and had ham and eggs.... We drove down by the ocean and even the pigeons were pretty. Nice neighborhoods where the Mitt Romney family have a house. The ocean is chilly; but the locals put on their wet suits and hit the waves. A picture of the Happy Campers. Patty and Bill (We haven't drove them crazy yet!) The waves are rushing in this morning. We are at the entry to the racetrack. Now we are in the area that a few old movie stars lived.  Jimmy Durante, Lucy and Desi Arnes, and I don't remember... Del Mar Race Track Entry Bill told us some more work stories.  He got to s
