A Windy Day and an Afternoon in Town It wasn’t necessary to do another check of the weather forecast. It was pretty obvious that it would stay windy all day. But in the afternoon it kinda got sunny and the PEI-bunch and I ventured off to town, that is Ajo. And even though I had wandered through that town before, it became an afternoon of new discoveries. A Mexican merchant has rented the old train station at the plaza. I could not but buy this colorful plate for a mere 12 Dollars.  I wonder whether Bea will like it. After finishing the walk around the Plaza, we walked over to the two beautiful Spanish churches. Unfortunately they are always locked up, so nobody can’t get a glimpse of the interior. Next thing was the mosaics which were part of a heritage project. Neat work! Next to the big mural I showed in the previous posting there is an antique dealer. Of course we had to snoop around there too. I think one must go all the way this far south to see such old junk. I was wondering whether the Coca Cola bottles really contained Coca Cola. Getting thirsty and Barb was hungry (doesn’t PEI-Bob feed her?) we went to Marcela’s Cafe and Bakery. Obviously that was the place where the locals went, at least we were the only strangers there. It was Cheese Cake and Coffee for me.    Another stop at a Dollar Store and at the IGA was wrapping up our visit in town. I was tired after that and needed a nap. It is a grey sky again, but no rain. The Old Trainstation …long gone Rustry tracks..and slowly desert shrubs are taking over. Stay out of trouble! And thanks for visiting.
