Dani & Gayle

Dani and Gayle joined us for a few days. We packed the days full of excitement. Here’s less than half of all we did. We started with the Fox Theater, where the Tucson Symphony played music to go with Charlie Chapman movies. The man was a genius. His movies are funny and kind. The theater was recently restored. Locals call the decor “Western Art Deco”. We did a food tour — 7 stops in 4 hours. All the food we had was very good. Some was extraordinary. “Old Tucson” is a tourist destination and it is also a working movie set. Think of “Little House on the Prairie” and countless cowboy movies. Only the tour was running. The actors were still practicing their shows. Watching the practice was a bonus. One doesn’t have to explicitly stop to see amazing scenery, but we did. Saguaro Park is incredible. As a topper, we experienced an unusual day of dramatic clouds. My favorite was the Gaslight Theater. Admission includes a large bag of popcorn. You don’t have to order food, but if you do, it will be perfectly good. From singing along to booing the bad guy, audience participation is encourage. The Gaslight is very popular with the locals.
