While we are traveling, I have gotten into the habit of running three days in a row and then taking a day off. It doesn’t always work out, but that’s the typical routine. I have run for the past three days, so today was a day off. Dottie must have sensed something, as she let me sleep in. We got up at 5:30 today instead of 5:00. We started our day on the porch where Dottie likes to see what’s going on in the neighborhood.
After porch sitting and a potty break and breakfast for Dottie, I decided to spend what would normally be my running time doing an errand instead. I love to read real, physical books, and I usually have a couple with me. As I finish one, I hunt up a small, free library wherever we’re staying to exchange the old book for a new one. I had just finished a book the other night, so I decided this morning would be a good time to pick up a new one. Google Maps showed a little library about 30 minutes from the house, so off I went.
The route took me mostly down 6th Street south of most of the university. The following photos are my sights along the way. Oh, and you never know if these libraries will have any books at all or any of interest, but I was in luck. I was able to exchange “The Interruption of Everything” by Terry McMillan for “Song of Solomon” by Toni Morrison.
Also, I have learned that today is Tucson’s 247th birthday!🌵🌶🎂. They had planned celebrations downtown near the old city hall. Not sure if the weather will cooperate or not.
