A few murals in Ajo, Arizona

 Slept in this morning after our eventful day yesterday.  It was a beautiful morning for lying around in the sunshine and rest, so that's what we did.

It was nearing 1 o'clock when Nick went for a 7 mile run and I drove into Ajo to find a PVC fitting to place over the fresh water tank overflow pipe.  Found it at the Olsen Grocery/ACE Hardware store.

On the way home I took a few pictures of the many murals here in town.

See the "A" on the mountain.






Yuma just had to stop by the park and walk around on the green grass.










We returned at 2:30 and Nick was lying in the warm sun on his hammock resting from his run.  Yuma saw the neighbor and his little dog and just had to run and meet them.

It was a nice uneventful and restful day in the desert for us.  Had hotdogs for dinner and called it a day.  

Thanks for stopping by.

    Sounds like a perfect day! It seems like there are more murals than ever. So pretty. Yuma found a cute little friend. That Nick! Always running or climbing. Hope your pipe works.

      It was another nice day. I'm finally getting into a comfortable pace that I enjoy. Lots more murals now than before. Be testing the water soon. Sure hope things work out.

      Thanks Steve. I think Nick likes relaxing in his hammock. He'll certainly have a tan when he gets home.

    There looks to be a number of new murals in town since the last time we were there. A new coffee shop had just opened the morning we last left Ajo a few winters ago and it was at the northwest corner of that little downtown Park right next to the Thrift store. I've wondered ever since if the owners were able to make a go of it.

      I'm in the park now looking over at the coffee shop. There are lots of folks sitting outside enjoying the beautiful day.

      Some of the folks in town think the paintings are graffiti 😱. And some of it does come close.

    Ajo has become quite the Artist Enclave. Great murals!
