Thursday March 7th
I wanted to go to the DeGrazia Museum and Gallery today but Cathey was waiting to get a phone call, so told me to go by myself. The museum is on the N side of Tucson, about 20 miles from where we are setup. I toured the gallery and store but didn't spend much time outdoors, but there are extensive grounds with desert plants and shelters which simulate those constructed by various Indian tribes. DeGrazia was a famous Southwestern artist who resided in Tucson for much of his life; he died in 1976.
After the gallery I adjourned to AJ's grocery store and deli a few miles away; one of my favorite places in Tucson. Had a nice lunch with a WSJ, but it was a little breezy outdoors to read the paper. Bought a few groceries and then headed home via surface streets. Tucson is much less laced with freeways than Phoenix. That makes getting from one side to the other much more laborious but more normal from my perspective.
