For those of you present and sober at the Bisbee Quiz (courtesy of sara rouse) you may remember hearing of Hot Licks. The correct choice was (C) they offer vegetarian fare. What we smell every day wafting up the hill is no vegetarian entree. It basically always smells like bacon. mmmmm. We haven't tried it yet for fear that we might love it and spend too much money; it ain't cheap. 86 steps up you can see our house on the top right.
People here aren’t too fond of the tourists, to say the least. Ironic because it is how most of them make money, but they still have no love loss for the wandering camera addicts. Our first weekend here we went to get a beer down stair at Hot Licks. The bar tender proceeded to be so rude I almost left, until, by a saving grace, the pit master, Jay, came in a told her how we had just moved in to town. Suddenly, it was a different tune. We were old friends; we were on their side, us against the tourists. We were happy to discover that PBR runs on most of the taps here. When we asked how much they were she held up a small 10 glass and said, "if you're a tourist they come in this glass and are $1.50," picking up a larger 20oz glass, “but for locals, they are $1.25."
Classic Bisbee.

howdy friends,
i would have sent this message via email but that is so anachronistic now that you have a blog. Just wanted to let you know that Mary and I are having good times in S.A. and loving reading your entries and looking at the amazing pictures. Great spot you have there. Can´t wait to hear more about the school and the history of the area. Speaking of the border, you should just get some nightvision goggles and become underground railroad 21st century. get to work digging those secret passageways vittum. FYI, I have made sure to break bathroom fixtures in every hostel and homestay I have been in so far, although the rowdy late-night drinking has been at a minimum (once again, sorry Rouse family). Of course that will change by tomorrow night...Cros arrives in town. One last thing neil, just want you to know I am pulling for you to cut down some Arizonian trees. Just because they are desert scrubs doesn´t mean they deserve to stand. Love you guys.
