Down Town Tucson/ El Charro

11/21/09


I took Joe out for lunch at El Charro Cafe. I bought a book that tells where great food is as you travel the USA. Our nacho's and red and green hot sauce. The red was the hottest. We had a window seat.( brought my tea in my plastic water bottle also) Menu of El Charro Cafe which has been in business since 1922. There were two The Famous Plates. I pointed to the wrong one and we ended up with not what we expected. Our horedorve's, Cheese Crisp We shared a margarita-Coco-Lime Fresa ( coconut, lime - tequila). I thought I had order a chimichanga. This is not a chimichanga. Next time I will pay more attention to what I point at. It was good anyway (especially the 2nd and third time warmed up at home). We shared one meal, but with what was left we still had 2 more meals at home with the left overs:) The building use to be a house. After lunch I spied a Art Fare going on down town so I talked Joe into stopping. While looking around, Joe and I got separated while we brossed. My phone rang and Joe said, " I'm screwed". I asked why. When we first walked into the art fare it looked very small. Joe told me that he realized that the fare was 5 to 6 times larger than we thought, because he found that there were many more vendors inside and at the rate I was looking we were going to be here all day. He told me where he was and than showed me the entrance into where more vendors were. I decided I would have to pick up the pace to view everything. Down town central park with fountain in Tucson. Old capitol building in foreground. Because I know how much Joe hates to shop I made it through the art fare in a record time and only found one item to buy. Joe even told me how impressed he was that I went through the fare so fast.i Another angle of park. Joe waiting for me in the park. Can we go home now!
