I left my room window open overnight Tuesday so I could hear the sound of the courtyard fountain at Casa de San Pedro. It was nice to hear as I awoke in the morning. Nancy and I had breakfast at the first seating at 7:30 a.m. and it was fresh fruit, a small lemon poppyseed muffin and French toast made from English muffins, all very good. The various family/couple groups were seated spaced out, due to COVID, although everyone who stays at this inn must first show proof of COVID vaccination.
Soon after breakfast, we drove to San Pedro House, which is a trailhead and information center in the conservation area for the San Pedro River about 25 minutes from our inn. We took a path along the river to see what birds were there. Besides birds, there were occasional frogs that jumped in the river when we got close. Once we heard something slither away from the trail in the dry leaves as we walked by, but we never saw it so we didn’t know if it was a rattlesnake or a lizard.
Returning from our hike along the river, we drove into Hereford to find lunch. We ended up at a place called Urbano Coffee House, Brews and Chews, where we had sandwiches. We didn’t really find a town center in Hereford. It’s very spread out, as are other towns around here.
We took it easy at the B & B during the afternoon and I used the free washers and dryers to do a load of laundry. I also bought a Casa de San Pedro T-shirt with a vermilion flycatcher on it, caught up on emails and worked on the blog. I enjoy having some down time while traveling.
For dinner, we decided to go to the historic copper mining town of Bisbee, about 30 minutes away. We went about 5 p.m. so we could walk around town before dinner. From the highway between Hereford and Bisbee, we could see the border wall in the distance and there were quite a few border control and sheriff cars parked at intervals along the road. The highway was probably only 2 miles from the border.
After walking a couple of the streets of the old town, we ate dinner at Bisbee’s Table, located in an old building in the historic area. I enjoyed a tasty pasta dish. We returned to the B & B for our last evening there.
