A local restaurant<\/a> sponsors Monday evening walks and runs in downtown Tucson; so far Donna and I have been to five or six.\u00a0 We quite enjoy the route, which winds through three picturesque parts of Tucson, the 1930-ish downtown section, the hippie-infested university district, and the historical Mexican Presidio (Tucson was part of Mexico until the mid-1850s, when the USA purchased it).<\/p>\n

We’re walkers, so we get a 15-minute head start . . . the runners start passing us about halfway through the route, which is about 4 miles long.\u00a0 We’ve been bringing Schatzi, and lately our friends Mary Anne and Darrell have joined us.<\/p>\n

Good exercise, followed by dinner at any of a number of cafes with outdoor eating areas (the ones that allow dogs, to be sure).<\/p>\n

Here are photos from our last two Monday evenings (click any image to enlarge):<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
