Today was a day to relax and check the "What to do when in Yuma" handbook. One of the things high on the list was a visit to the Peanut Patch. This area south of Yuma was settled a hundred years ago by people who attempted to make their fortune growing peanuts. The endeavor didn't work out very well, but left a "nutty" legacy for us to enjoy today. The small store sells a wide variety of candy, raw and roasted nuts and collectables of all kinds.
We left with a selection of roasted peanuts, homemade fudge, and hot sauce. That'll keep the stomach active for awhile!
One of their signs seemed appropriate.....
We went into downtown, metropolitan Yuma for dinner at Ronnie's Pizza again and a cup of Starbucks coffee. We're trying to stock up since we'll be leaving for the jing-weeds south of Tucson on Thursday.
