The Wisdom of Wisdoms

http://www.wisdomscafe.com/  Check out this fun cafe that we revisited the other night for dinner.

You will never guess!

It's fish and chips in a taco bowl!  A Friday night special at Wisdoms Cafe in Tumacacori, just south of Tubac AZ.

Take a trip to the ladies restroom and enjoy the views. 

A claim to fame of Wisdoms is the art, antiques and treasures  collected by the the family over the years.  They do suggest the women enjoy the art work in the ladies room as well! 

Madera Canyon Arizona

We did the 6 mile hike up to Josephine Saddle.  Views are just as stunning as last year!

The highest peak at Madera in the Santa Rita Mountains...Mt. Wrightson...close to 9500 ft. 

At the saddle.  It took about an hour and a half to get to Josephine Saddle.  Had lunch and began the descent.

Using the zoom....This is part of Whipple Observatory.  We could see it from a different angle than usual on this hike. 

Look closely at who is enjoying the sun!

Dozens of them!

Cute huh?

Tubac Arizona

We took a trip down to Tubac, a small and historical artisan town about 10 minutes south of here.  (Here is De Anza Trails RV Park at Amado. ) 

This is a beautiful town full of galleries, shops and restaurants.  I bought a dishcloth scrubber at the kitchen store.  The only thing in town I could afford!  Most things here are very expensive.  I saw a painting today for $12000!  Cowboy shoes, not boots, but the short version go for $500 and up!  But it's worth a visit and fun to window shop.

Oiseau Rock Trail, Quebec (across from Pembroke Ontario)

Near the end of October we went up to Pembroke, in the Ottawa Valley, to visit good friends Gisele and Grant.  On Sunday we took a drive over to "the Quebec side" and headed to hike Oiseau Rock Trail.  It was gorgeous!  We drove up to the gate and paid to enter the "park trail".  It was a bit rough...more like a  logging road but the truck got a good work out.  Even put it in 4-wheel a couple of times.

There was a log across the narrow road and to be sure we stayed on track Grant got out to be a guide. 

Little Wally had to go! 

Many leaves were down but splashes of colour remained.  

Despite all the leaves the trail was not hard to follow.  

Views of the Ottawa River teased us along the way. 

The trail was a bit steep at times. 

Large rocks enroute. 

A still and reflective lake was near the end of the trail.  

A warning! 

Glacial activity recorded here. 

Wow!  What a vista! 

Brave as always. 

Filling our senses.
