Tubac - Artist's Enclave

Saturday, March 7th
Our friend, Bernie Smyth from Edmonton, came by and picked us up this morning and took us on a tour of Green Valley and then we joined his wife, Lou, at their lovely place. Later we drove south to Tubac, an artists colony and village about 20 miles south on the road to Nogales at the Mexican border. We spent a couple of hours in the shops and galleries. It was fascinating!
When we returned to the Smyth’s, Reg & Heather Gates joined us for drinks. It was an unexpected treat to see them! They are long time friends(Heather & Alan worked for Royal LePage for years).They live in West Van now spend their winters here. The six of us went to a great place for Mexican food. Tomorrow we are golfing with Bernie & Lou. I can try out my new ‘Footjoy’ golf shoes which I bought at the Swap Meet in Yuma for $3.00! TTFN.

Today we golfed with Bernie & Lou @ St.Ignatio Golf Club, one of the most interesting in the Green Valley are a. We teed off at 2:45pm and were able to golf as long as we could. Well, we could have done 18 holes if it weren't for the weather! It got very cold and the clouds rolled in. We quit after the thirteenth hole, which is the premiere hole on the course. Truly spectacular!!! Back to Smyth's and a beautiful dinner ...BBQ steak, med. rare, twice baked potatoes and asparagas. Great hosts that Bernie & Lou!
