It was chilly this morning t 6:15! Clear and 2.8C outside and 8.5C inside! Didn't turn the heater on last night. We walked across the road to Denny's for breakfast before heading south for Tombstone, "The Town Too Tough to Die"

First thing we did was to watch the "Tombstone's Historama", the true story of Tombstone. It was a dramatic multimedia presentation of Tombstone's colourful past. The day is warming up nicely.
The Tombstone Courthouse, built in 1882 in the shape of a Roman Cross is a 2 story Victorian structure that once housed the offices of the Sherrif, Recorder, Treasurer, Jail & Courtrooms of Cochise County. (The gallows were out back) Today it is a museum.
We took a horse-drawn narrated tour on a 152 year old stage coach, the Butterfield Stage.
The Bird Cage Theatre was actually a house of ill repute. Inside, the guide pointed out some of the 120 bullet holes in the building.
Along the way, we stopped at the Tombstome Reptile Exhibit, which displayed snakes, Gila Monsters, lizards and Tarantulas.YUK!
The aforementioned Courthouse is actually a State Park - The smallest State Park in the country!
