Today we enjoyed a relaxing day in Prescott. The weather was perfect, a real contrast to yesterday's blistering day in Peoria/Phoenix!
We began the day with a tour of the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame. We really enjoyed the way the museum treated the women's teams of the 30's and 40's.
Next door was the Smoki Museum (www.smokimuseum.org), a very interesting collection of artifacts and other southwestern items. There was an exhibit of paintings by Leonard Peltier (involved in the shootout at Wonded Knee in the 70's). Then we toured the Sharlot Hall Museum (www.sharlot.org) which preserves the Territorial Governor’s Mansion and various other old buildings from the time of Arizona’s creation.
We rounded out the morninig with a great lunch at the Dinner Bell Restaurant (www.thedinnerbell.net) which is a favorite of local people and we can attest to the great food and service!!!
Charles enjoyed an afternoon of retreat. Belinda ran some errands around the town, i.e., bank, post office, Walmart runs. Later in the day Charles took a 2-hour walk/hike around the area! He took an amazing picture of nearby Thumb Butte, the iconic mountain of Prescott.
We had a nice evening at the Vicar’s Cottage, our last evening here. It has been wonderful to enjoy the environs of this lovely Chapel Rock Episcopalian retreat center.
Tomorrow we head back up north. The plan is to visit Sedona and Flagstaff, after that, stay tuned!
Praise be to God!
