Week 1 - "Weekend" -exploring Tucson

 From Gospel Rescue Mission to Southwest Gospel Music Festival - Mesa Arizona

Definitely in the 'nosebleed section' 

(but no problem hearing anything!😉)

Wonderful concert and uplifting music.

Love the architecture at the Mesa Arts Center

Back to Tucson,

Trail Dust Town - it's always easy to find replicas of the Old West Towns

even with the Gunfight scenes

This is about as close as I can get Lou to an opera!

Things don't change too much - do they?

Substitute ____(any of today's products)

"Water- bring plenty"

"Washout"

                                          Historic Fourth Avenue in Tucson

             A district with artisans, trendy locals, and all manner of unique shops

The light rail stop

The taco shop with fresh homemade chips and a collection of HOT salsas.

They serve so many chips that they know you'll have leftovers - thus the paper bag.

The Mexican pottery shop - some very unique pieces--

I usually like to get a small souvenir of a cat - 

NOT in my house!

And now our "new normal" includes a trip to the local 

Radio Control Air Field

Some very nice planes

This beauty has a real miniature jet engine that actually burns jet fuel (and only costs about $13,000) and with vectoring thrust which enables it to do unusual maneuvers for a jet.

This one flies so fast that I was lucky to get a picture at all!

even a paraglider

I can probably put a video on Facebook, but not on the blog.

Nice week, nice weekend!
