Featured Rideout Three Days And Two Nights To The Heart Of Arizona

Thanks, @Ducatitotriumph! Yeah, I was sorely disappointed we missed out on tacos or (what I was jonesing for) a breakfast burrito when we missed Alphonso's in Payson. But in Tucson, many Mexican restaurants do what they call "Taco Tuesday" so we commonly either get tacos on Tuesdays or we do take-out Mexican food on "Mexican Monday". Oh yes, and there's one place nearby that has "Tequila Thursdays"--all tequilas and mezcals are 1/2 off. It's a great way to try different (and expensive) brands without buying a whole bottle.

Glad to know I'm your "taco route of this covid hell!!" Perhaps I'll post a photo or two of my tacos the next time we get takeout. I'm partial to grilled fish or shrimp tacos myself and I also love carnitas. Mr. Sandi likes asada and chicken. Do you have a favorite?

I went back and looked at that photo again, Ken, and you're right. It does look like she has a feather duster on her head! A feather duster attached to the top of a little skull cap. I didn't notice her and her hat when we were there. Now wish I'd been more observant to see what in the world she was wearing on her head.

Thanks, Nikki! I appreciate the positive feedback on the writeup.

Hope you're temperatures warm up and that you will soon have more options available for cafes and restaurants. Our days here are definitely heating up. As I write this, it's 91ºF.

There are quite a few variations in Tucson regarding the specific Covid protocol and requirements among businesses. Although our state governor has lifted all restrictions, businesses are still allowed to make their own decisions regarding expectations and hours. I have to say that it feels pretty strange to go into some places and it's as if there's no pandemic--no masks, little distancing, etc. This seems particularly true in motorcycle dealerships. In other places, people are still continuing to behave as we have for over a year now. Even though my husband and I have had both Pfizer vaccinations, we still won't make a practice of eating indoors at a restaurant at least in the near future.
