Local flavor

Catalina State Park
Tucson, AZ

Yesterday we decided to explore around Tucson.

First we found a local laundromat, so that I 

could wash the big quilt that sits on the foot of our bed.

Then, while I got a pedicure at a great little nail salon,

George relaxed at a local Dunkin' Donuts.

He's so happy to have found one! :-)

We found out that this weekend is the

4th Avenue Street Fair

With great directions from a customer

at the nail salon, we decided to check it out!

The fair was blocks long...

and packed!

It was so crowded we couldn't 

even see too many of the crafts.

George did notice the cute girls getting

hugged by the Gingerbread Man :-)

The fair food was very expensive,

even if it all looked very good.

We opted out of that,

but were really hungry for some

local, authentic, good Mexican food.

The power of Yelp led us to a great

little place called

Mariscos El Sinaloa.

It was delicious!

We shared some shredded beef nachos,

and a taco combination plate.

We didn't share our beer :-)

Today after lounging around until noon (!)

I talked George into a good bike ride.

We rode both campground loops,

and then to the trail head,

and back..for a total of almost 5 miles.

It felt good!

One more day in Tucson,

and there are a few trails that I want to hike.

Better do that tomorrow!
