Waiting in Tucson

Oh boy, another learning curve. With the Alfa we have a very big propane tank. Got to remember it is smaller here in Jennie. Ran out of propane this a.m. Had it filled before our first trip to Vegas – so guess it lasted quite awhile as we have used the furnace quite a bit on both trips.
Spent most of Sunday just hanging around campground. Read and watched the last race of the season.
Staying in a campground just south of Tucson. Looks nice on the outside but leaves a little to be desired with the restrooms. At least it has Wi-fi.
The satellite guy Desert Satellite Systems got here before 9:30 – and replaced the controller box. Up and down went the dish, no problems. Then we asked him if he could change the satellite to the one we will use in Mexico. He couldn’t do it – only HughesNet installers can do it. And where is our Installer you ask? Well he is in Italy!! Lots of emails back and forth. We finally found a HughesNet installer here in Tucson. He came over and while he was here our installer called from Italy. Between them they got the satellite switch done. Thank goodness. All is up and working now. So enough of that.
Took a trip into downtown Tucson for a while Monday. Walked around for a while. Looking at some of the sights. This is the tile domed Courthouse. It was built in 1929
Just some more scenes. This is one of many fountains around the original town site.
While walking around we saw this great mural – reminds me of a quilt.
Saw this just painted on the sidewalk as we were walking by.
Then these bars on a store front window think it was a gym – at least they are attractive.
This church was down town. It was built in late 1800s.


And this was in the courtyard. Some type of gazebo of big metal flowers.

We’ll be leaving here tomorrow morning. Depending on when we get started we might or might not cross the border.
Later.
