Trail Dust Town

Today we went to Marjorie and Milton's church. Then we drove out to the Mission San Xavier del Bac founded in 1699 by the Jesuit Missionary Father Kino. It is an amazing piece of architecture with a lot of interesting history.

  Then Bob took me around to all the places he wanted me to see of where he grew up, like his old house and school and the field that is not a field anymore where he hunted rabbits. We drove through downtown Tucson, which seemed much smaller to me than I expected. It had a few tall buildings, but the outerlying area is so flat with all these one story small buildings, it makes those tall building stick out like a sore thumb.

At night we went to Trail Dust Town. There were some cute old west shops and usually there are stuntmen who fall off buildings and such, but they weren't there because it was raining.

We had dinner at Pinnacle Peak and had cowboy steaks and beans. This was a crazy place that if you wear a neck tie, they cut it off with scissors and tack it to the wall. Unfortunately, the guys all forgot to wear ties. It was a good day and the rain did not stop us at all. This was our only day of rain.
