We spent the day with new friends, Al and Linda Windler. They are the owners of the garden railway we visited. They also love the desert plants and wildlife. Our first stop was at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum and we spent a couple of hours admiring the plants and birds. Linda is an experienced bird watcher so was able to identify many of the birds flying around. We all know what a flop I was at birdwatching. Nice to be with someone who was quite nice about my lack of knowledge. I didn't know there were so many varities of yucca. They also have a huge variety of plants of the Austrailan desert and those of Africa as well. Too much to do all in one day.
We then traveled on to Globe and took a train ride. We are sitting in the observation car which provided a good view. The train went to the casino. A number of people take the opportunity to gamble and then catch the next train back.
