| Cottonwood, Railroad Park, Wilcox, Arizona |
Trying to remember yesterday this morning lounging about the Motel 6; always difficult. Small roads, small towns of southeastern Arizona as mentioned. Tombstone more anomalous than tertiary what with the tourist trade but we didn't linger just the random sanican on a back street for me and out the back o' town on an even lesser road than the last according to map but it, as has been true, was smooth and swoopy . Drove northeasterly all day with a very pleasant interlude in the town of Wilcox which was incredibly bright: white sun, white vehicles, white pavement, low profile and not a lot of trees although the ones in the lunch spot in what they called Railroad Park were stunning.
Hit the library and the Safeway, both comforting and satisfying in their ways except the bread selection was poor, at the Safeway. Got a Safeway card anyway. Went across the street after lunch in the park (see above) and straight into a wine shop. Courtly wine woman had terrible allergy but was inspiring and deeply into the vintages. Left with a bottle of something Rhone.
Entered New Mexico.
Arrived Silver City and began looking for bookstore cause S wanted a topological atlas of the state. Bookstores inaccessible so tried booking a room at the historic Palace Hotel; full. Cut to the chase and hit the Motel 6 for $50.
Savings on room resulted in dinner at Tre Rosat. Chose the Moroccan pizza with harrisa paste?
S mentioned evidence of human suffering at Walmart where she had shopped earlier, picking up such items as new earbuds and recently off-patent antacid for me (I had a little pain) and, yes, the topological atlas of New Mexico!
No walking and no biking but a good day nevertheless. I'd say Wilcox, Arizona was the highlight although there were more churches than I would have liked.

You forgot the fist Open Carry sighting. A young man with his young family in the park admiring a statue.
