Tombstone

OK, it is one gigantic tourist trap.  We had fun wondering the shops and watching the many period-costumed hawkers working the streets to get folks into the attractions.  The Bird Cage Theater is one of the few historic buildings still standing.  A tour spins a great story of its history as theatre, saloon, poker parlor and brothel.  I’m not sure that story would hold up to any serious fact checking.  There are horse drawn (and donkey drawn) stagecoaches and gun fights a plenty.  We grab lunch at the OK Corral Café; tasty pinto bean and ham soup and a hatch green chili buffalo burger.  We topped it all off with an official Tombstone Sarsaparilla.  It is worth a quick stop if you are in the area.
