Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary and…

…San Pedro River. And the chance to meet pen-pal Mike (who is a docent) in person. Two hours of fun, watching and listening to a great variety of birds.

Then, over to a river I have long longed to see—the famous and significant wildlife corridor which flows north out of Mexico.

And, a check on my bucket list—wading in the San Pedro

Then lunch at Thuy’s Vietnamese restaurant on Bisbee, where I had, in addition to great food TWO glasses of had squeezed lime juice, and got to try out a little very rusty Vietnamese.

Followed by a fabulous dinner hosted by Mary Jane and George. The conversation lively and long.
