The smorgasbord that is Tucson

Barrio Rillito Hills

Tucson AZ

Still hanging out in Tucson.

Driving around checking out the 55+ communities, eating hot dogs and other local fare, hiking a bit.

Went to the gem show for a couple of hours today.

It’s overwhelming all the stuff they had there.

Countries from all over the world represented. Brazil, Pakistan, Tanzania, Morocco, China, Colombia.

Even America!!.... And Mexico too!.

It was a United nation of geologic and paleobiologic commerce!.

Spent a few $$ but nothing over the top.

One could easily go over the top.

Apparently this annual show is the place to be if you sell rocks....

So we bought some rocks. 

We’ve extended our stay here in Tucson for about another week.

Then we’re back in the Gunship making our way up toward Phoenix/Scottsdale.

Here’s some of what we saw.

Excuse the fuzzy bird  photos. The lens only reaches so far.
