MONDAY WITH SUSAN

We have been on the go...........

Trying to cram as much as we can into this week

SO FAR SO GOOD!

Monday was President's Day

Highway 60 was busy

with many many cars

heading to the

Renaissance Fair

We thought it might be a good day

to take Susan to the

 Boyce Thompson Arboretum

We weaved in and out of the traffic

and got in the left lane

We were on our way

First we had lunch in Superior

a mining town

We spotted this little Mexican cafe

CAFE PIEDRA ROJA

We drove by

Turned around

Should we go in????

Yeah, we'll give it a try

Colourful rooms

We all agreed

THE FOOD WAS GREAT

WHAT A FIND!!!!!!!

This hotel is still open

Not sure about rooms

but the door to the bar was open

Wonder what it was like in it's day???

Next we found this coffee house

A cute little place

full of ambiance

Didn't I say it was cute!!!!!!!!

We're going to come back one day for lunch

On to the Arboretum

Following the 'brown gravel road'

A Boojum tree

 

The home of Boyce Thompson

Here's Susan

I see the camera lady's reflection

 in her sunglasses

Susan and her Uncle Joe

Joe is from a family of eight children

Susan's Mom was the eldest of the children

She was in her glory

being surrounded by such beauty

We were coming up to a curve

in the path

I could not believe what I saw

A 'lady' was sitting in a tree

in a 'fashion model pose'

To me she didn't look real

Her skin was a creamy wax colour

At first I was not sure if she was real???

Here is the photographer at work

I wished I had taken a photo of what I first saw

I went back and asked the photographer if

I could take a photo of her at work

She said

Yes

We walked the same path

Many different poses

Many different backdrops

What a view from the bridge

The gum trees

Up up towards the sky

On to Tuesday ............
