BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN SONORA, TX

MUSEUM SHRINE FIGURES

MARKET DANCERS

Monday, July 27

Yesterday (July 26) we drove from San Antonio, TX to Sonora, TX. We saw the famous Market Square in SA, which was a charming scene. We bought some stuff from a Guatemalan shop run by a charming Guatemalan lady, with whom we swapped stories of her lovely country. There was dancing by locals of all ages and skill levels. We also went to a nearby "Alameda Museo", where we saw a very powerful photography exhibit about teen age immigrants.

Sonora was a bleak and almost empty shell of a town, with some lovely architecture. I posted a few images.

Today we had a long, hot drive from Sonora to El Paso, a big city replete with confusing interstate ramps. After flailing some, we found our motel, and fell into bed. More flailing yielded a takeout dinner at a local Sonic -a surprisingly OK grilled chicken salad.

Tomorrow we go to Tucson and plan to stay with a good friend for 3 days - a needed respite from the road. Friday, July 31, we go to Phoenix, where we audaciously made a reservation at the Biltmore for 3 days - WOW!

Texas is a HUGE state, seemingly endless, we will be happy to enter New Mexico, and Arizona.
