Hey, I got a tan too (on that dome of a forehead)!
Feb. 21 – Side Trip
We decided to head to San Diego to visit Robert’s cousin. We enjoyed a walk to Mission Bay to see the ocean!
On the way back, at the top of the hill, Robert spotted the perfect place for lunch! We didn’t realize San Diego is so hilly!
It was great to see spring in full swing, with flowers everywhere!
Feb. 19 – Backlit Ocotillo Buds
A beautiful sunset provided backlighting for these Ocotillo buds at our latest campsite.
A short time later the sunset morphed into the proverbial ‘red sky at night, sailor’s delight’. Maybe not the appropriate saying for camping in the desert, but a harbinger of beautiful weather tomorrow!
Feb. 11 – Yuma Crossing Day
We stayed in town an extra day to see the Yuma Crossing Day Celebration along historic Madison street in the old town section. It was centered around the Sanquinetti House Museum, an 1870’s adobe house converted to a museum to highlight the history of the region from the mid 1500’s to the present. There were several colorful re-enactors dressed in period costumes from a 1540’s Spanish soldier and his wife to an 1870’s riverboat captain, an 1880’s couple, and 2 ladies circa 1912 describing the ‘Valentine’s Statehood’ of Arizona 100 years ago. There were even a couple of banditos, but they left their stinking badges at home! The most photogenic though, were the young folklorico dancers waiting for their turn to perform.
