A New Era From Tucson

So lets get this started in the right manner---there is a new Sherriff in town and he has the first result in his favour.

Jose is back and the mighty Blues get a home win against Hull City.

And a great find from my Lynda for flicking through the TV and coming up with the NBC live match for me bearing in mind that I was trying to find a sports bar here in Tucson to watch the game. Poor second half and Chelsea were not hungry enough to close the game out with further goals.

So , back to the trip and yesterday was all about Tombstone visit and ending at the hotel that we always light--the Ramada in Tucson.

For those younger folk who have no knowledge of American Cowboy history, Tombstone was all about Silver Mining in around 1870 and also being a fairly lawless town, where the Earp's came and straightened it out with the most famous gunfight ever at the OK Corral . Anyone not seen the movie get the version with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer--it for me is the likely most like what it was all about.

 The boss campaigning to be the first lady of Tombstone--no chance in this Male dominated town.

 A bit like the carriage's in Aegina but this guy is hilarious as he mimes a tape of the narrative for the people in the stage coach.

 More of this place later

 Damn these pictures keep up sideways even after turning them.

 I will try to straighten this again as it is a good shot of Lynda having found a guy nice enough to pose with -- actually it is always a bit odd looking at a guy dressed as a cowboy for the day texting on a Mobile Phone.

So after all the shooting and killing and suicides they all ended up here----

Some of the grave markers below with one very funny one---

 The man who was hanged by mistake

 Clearly was a tough place to live in the 1870's for Women

Got the exchange car right in the end and this Ford Edge is a good SUV.

Back in to Tucson, and see the shots below of the USA airforce base that kind of puts these planes to sleep until they are needed again.

And finally here is the temperature that we had as we arrived at Tucson in the afternoon.

104 degrees.

Sorry Lynda , I tried to get you photo straightened but no success.
OK so we are having a rest day by the pool today before we go into the Tanque Verde ranch tomorrow.

Our children-- if you are reading this know that we are thinking of you guys and love you all loads---hey it's our Blog and we will get as much as we want to---so there.
