Yesterday the Catalina Mountains were hidden by fog. This morning I woke up to find the fog gone and snow in its place.
We decided to go for a drive today and went to see a show of Western memorabilia at the fair grounds. We looked at beautiful scenery on the way. Tucson is surrounded by mountains and most of the mountains had snow. The actual Western show was interesting, but didn't really wow us. There were vintage posters and art, beaded rodeo gloves, hand tooled cowboy boots, Indian blankets, and vintage aprons, which I enjoyed looking at. However, there were guns, spurs, branding irons, ropes, etc. which I wasn't so keen on. Most of the participants were serious collectors and/or aging cowboys/cowgirls. If I want to see the younger cowboys and cowgirls in the area, I'll have to go back to the Rodeo which is in February.
Larry and I decided to go to Mission San Xavier to see how the renovation is coming along. The mission is quite a lovely building. We enjoyed browsing around. I was interested to see that the statues of saints in the sanctuary wore textiles. Here are some photos.
