We arrived right at the earliest check-in time for our Tucson Airbnb. After unloading the car and picking up some groceries, we walked into the city for dinner—simply because we could. Being so close to one of the vibrant hearts of Tucson, we chose Opa’s Best Greek American Cuisine and enjoyed a simple meal to start our newest trip.

Tech Troubles First, Tucson Treasures Later
I noticed my computer didn’t recharge. So, the first activity was an urgent visit to the Apple Store. I felt fortunate we were in a major city, as it would have been a nightmare to have a broken laptop in a remote area! Since the battery had been getting hot and making an unusual noise, I also asked for a diagnostic check. They couldn’t see me immediately, but I was able to book an appointment for the following morning.

With the laptop issue settled for the day, we spent the afternoon walking from the Airbnb through the historic district into downtown Tucson. The architecture in the historic district was stunning, the neighborhood showed that classic Spanish-Mexican charm I love. After rehydrating with a couple of cold beers, we took the 6-mile walk home. We definitely haven’t seen the last of downtown; there is clearly so much more to explore.
