Tourist Sight Seeing

The last few days we had visitors from California.  This gave us the excuse to do some touristy things around town.  Of course to get anywhere it's usually an hour drive - at least to see the popular things.  But it's all worth it.

Marcie and I went to see Ted DeGrazia's gallery which was very, very interesting.  I never even knew about it.  He personally built the gallery of adobe clay.  In the bathrooms he painted on the walls.  We learned a lot about this Arizona artist.

The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum was fantastic, as usual.  The javelinas were active, though we never could smell their smell.

The Raptor show was great and we had nice views of the birds.

And the hummingbird aviary was a lot of fun.  One of the hummingbirds went right up to a woman wearing a red flowered shirt and poked her, then realized she wasn't a flower.  Lots of nests, which we've never seen before, and even saw the birds building new nests.

Dave and Jim also spent a long time at the Pima Air Museum and could have spent longer but we had to move on.  During their visit they were lucky in seeing wild javelina and roadrunners near our home.  But now back to work for them and back to retiring for us.
