We are laid over in Bisbee today and I found an Internet hookup. Last night, St Patrick’s Day, about a dozen of us met in a bar and played pool and drank for a couple of hours. It was a lot of fun. Today, everyone’s kind of split off. Some riding to the bird conservatory, some riding for fun and others are about town.
Bisbee is an interesting town. A stair climber’s wet dream. Tiny, narrow building carved into any available space. The next block over is also at least a story up too. Lots of touristing, shops and antiques. You could explore here for a couple of days easy. It has a very hippyish feel. On the way in we passed a Gay/Lesbian RV/Camp site.
The weather is fantastic. Cool at night and warm during the day. Very dry. No wind or maybe a light cool breeze.
I thought I would catch up on a few things on the computer. Wonder around town some and kind of lay off. My knee is hurting a bit and could use the break. Tomorrow, we spin 50 miles back to Tombstone, through Hereford.
The group is like a bunch of sparrows in the winter bushes at meal times. Lots of talking and crosstalking. There are a couple of astronomers, architect, flight attendent, retired people, etc. From all over like Vermont, California, New Mexico, Denver, Houston, Florida, Minneapolis, and more. The average age is 61. If you remove me, the yougest at 33, it becomes 65. It’s an interesting mix. Very enjoyable.
