Bisbee, AZ

Two weeks until school starts, so I decided to go to Bisbee today.  I had never been and it's about an hour and a half one way...why not take a mini road trip  and make an adventure? It's not much different than other AZ mining towns I have been to like Jerome, but if my timing was better I could have gone on a mine tour and there were caverns near by.  I think the next time someone comes to visit I'll explore the area again.  Any takers?  It also meant I drove through Patagonia, Sierra Vista, Sonoita, and Fort Huachuca.  I saw signs for Douglas, Benson, and Elgin.  I swear this state has more random towns then it knows what to do with!  Now if we just had more natural bodies of water.
Here are some pics. 

 Post office...I do love the old brick buildings that are still used today.  Some buildings just had better details in the past.  I mean who doesn't want to go through columns and an arch to get their mail?

 Street views

 I guess this building is a famous hotel with hauntings and ghosts.

 Must be monsoon season since there are clouds!

 The movie theater...

 with a giant fly on the window!?!

 Quite the hike just to get to the front door of this house.

 This altar had a four poster bed frame and it kind of looked like someone had just put part of their house outside.  Everything in the area was well maintained, so somebody keeps it up.

 I guess there are one thousand stairs...

 and there is a contest once a year to climb them.

 I was tired just looking at all of the stairs in this town!

 This was the Catholic church and it reminded me of my childhood.

 My Flag peeps will get the reference to Nativity.

 Always stained glass windows for any old Catholic church...

 even if I don't count myself as Catholic anymore it still seems weird to take pictures in a church, but there's something to be said about these old churches that have to be shown in pictures.

 Once again buildings just aren't made the same way anymore.

 Oh, mining towns

 with your houses

perched on mountainsides.
