Our day with George and Marj








I am late in posting this.

On April 29th we spent the day with our cousins, George and Marj.

First, a tour of the Asarco Mission Copper Mine just south of Tucson. We thought and still feel that they were the perfect people to take the tour with. As many of you know, George was the President of the Colorado School of Mines and both George and Marj have toured copper mines all over the world!

It was fascinating! It is amazing that so little of the ore that is mined finally becomes copper.

After the tour we went across the freeway to the Desert Diamond Casino for a wonderful and inexpensive buffet lunch - will definitely go back there and take guests with us.

On the way home we stopped at San Xavier Church as they had taken down the scaffolding on the front of the church so we took a few pictures before heading home.
