Tlaquepaque

Yesterday we went back to Tlaquepaque to finish checking out the shops and galleries. After trying to find a parking spot we decided to head back into town, park at a free lot and take the free trolley back. Jim wanted to have lunch at the Secret Garden. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy lunch. I had a blt-a on sourdough bread (peppered bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado) and Jim had Quiche Lorraine, we both had fruit as a side and ice tea to wash it down. We finished with espresso for me and Jim had a cappuccino. We sat outside under the pergola among the trees and plantings. Just lovely! And no construction noise Kathy…

Afterwards we checked out more galleries and shops. There are a lot of talented artists represented here. When we finished strolling we caught the trolley back to town and hit a few more shops. Jim stopped in the camera shop and bought a backpack and camera stabilizer, not a tri pod but same idea.

Then we headed towards home but stopped at New Frontiers a natural grocery store I only spent 11 bucks but only because I didn’t need anything! Then it was home for us.

I had a salad for dinner and Jim had cheese and crackers. After our big lunch we didn’t want dinner!

Last Friday the four of us took the Verde Valley Train. We traveled first class for this four hour trip. The guys spent a lot of time outside in the open car taking pictures. Kathy joined them once or twice. I spent my time indoors enjoying the food and drink! We had sofas and a coffee table so it was very comfortable. Once the trip was over we said our goodbyes because they were leaving on Sturday for the trip back to Kansas. we very much enjoyed our visit with John and Kathy.
