Old Tucson

well, lets see where we left off. We have been either relaxing by the pool, sitting in the sun, sightseeing, attending activities in the park or just really enjoying ourselves . we are having a ball and are even talking about staying an extra week here.  well on to pictures and stories.
we decided to go to Old Tucson and drive thru the Saguaro National park on the way. We had been into the park area at sunset(we posted pics on an earlier blog) but wanted to drive the whole park. we had learned that we(Linda ) could get a lifetime national park pass for $10. I wasn't old enough. haha
we drove thru the "desert"  lots of huge and wildly different Saguaro cacti, and all sorts of other types. we stopped at the park entrance, got our pass and watched a video about the area. very interesting. the narrator told how the indians believe that the cacti are representative of past relitives and that if you looked closely you could see human forms in them all. so while looking at the pictures, see what you see for human shapes. don't laugh to hard.

we made it thru the park and to Old Tucson. Old Tucson is an old stage coach stop and has been the site of many movies. over one hundred movies have used this little old town for John Wayne,  the show High Chaparrell tv show and many more. we took the tour and learned alot. we took a train ride around the town and learned more.we saw a gun fight, medicine man show and much more. it was a really neat place to see, and we highly reccomend  it if your in the area.
