July 3rd and 4th Tombstone

 What a place! Western characters walking around all over the place, horses, cowboys, gunfights (cheesy though) in the streets and bars, and also a lot of interesting museums, and stories. Though Tombstone suffered 2 major fires, a lot of the town was rebuilt during the silver mining days. The original buildings are still standing and used for museums, shops and restaurants. We took a stage coach ride, toured museums, watched some films about the history of Tombstone and saw a reenactment of the famous Gunfight. We ate and drank in the Crystal Palace Saloon, which has been in business for 130 years.
