Toooo-Sahn

Several visits here already have come and gone, so we're looking around at new stuff, found the Jewish Historical Museum, congregation moved out in 1949 - outgrew the space and moved to the 'burbs. Got there too early, so we took a walk and ended up at Mass at the Church of Saint Augustine, just in time for the sign of peace and communion. No candles to light but a visit with Maw and Paw nonetheless. A nice bit of catholicism, lower-case c. High 50's, low 60's, sun and no wind. Sitting around waiting to go out for tacos, would love to watch the Cavs play the Bulls, but Mr. Ed just can't tolerate sports for long (baseball would have maybe had a snowball's chance). Very pretty neighborhood here and a very charming old hotel right in the neighborhood. Tomorrow we'll eat Dim Sum and make a visit to the Chinese Cultural Center, another different discovery. Hope to see some saguaros up close as always, and would also like to see the mission church at the Tahono O'Oodham reservation, see the AZ native scene just a little bit. Don't think we'll make it to the Observatory at Kitts Peak, never have and probably never will, may not even be allowed to, might be my fantasy. The change is refreshing....
