The immediate center of "Old Town" has some pretty sights, but appears to be oriented towards the tourist trade with a lot of souvenir stores and typical things you might find for sale in such a place. We did tour a restored Catholic church that was once the site of a mission and the first Catholic Church in the area. We also had a delicious lunch at a Spanish restaurant next door (cleverly named "The Mission").
After lunch we walked about three blocks to Scottsdale Stadium and watched the San Francisco Giants play the Milwalkee Brewers. There was not much action in the game which ended in a 0-0 tie after 10 innings.
We then headed to a shop up the road that specializes in Saguaro cactus art items. I wanted a hiking stick made from the woody inside structure of a Saguaro cactus and quickly discovered this was the place to go. I found one I liked and Judy found another cute metal Javelina that just had to come to California.
Things are starting to wind down here. Tomorrow, we go back to the Musical Instrument Museum to see the galleries we missed on our first visit. We also have tickets for a jazz concert there by a group from the San Francisco Jazz Center tomorrow night. Friday is essentially a getting ready to break camp day, and we will leave Saturday morning to begin our journey home.
