Last Spring my son and I ate lunch at La Cocina and held up a sign for the person we were dining out for,  a friend and  known victim of sexual assault.  She had also volunteered at SACASA.

My UA professor husband Albrecht Classen  has given similar talks all over Tucson, but this time he will be emphasizing the words and perspective of the German speaking Jesuits, who followed Padre Eusebio Kino to Sonora.

My professor husband’s comprehensive research on this topic can be found here in his book “Early History of the Southwest through the Eyes of German-Speaking Jesuit Missionaries: A Transcultural Experience in the Eighteenth Century”, available on amazon.com.  His research is about Padre Eugenio Kino and the Jesuits who followed Kino (1645 – 1711).

Walk with Mayor Rothschild on Turquoise Trail

Posted on October 23, 2014 by | 1 Comment

Now that the SW desert weather has cooled down a bit, join me in walking with Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild on a 2.5 mile route around downtown Tucson. Plus there’s refreshments later at the lovely La Cocina, 201 N. Court Ave in the Old Town Artisans building.

From the Mayor’s press release:

Meeting at the Presidio, located on Washington St. between Church and Court Avenues in downtown Tucson, participants will walk the 2.5 mile loop known as the Turquoise Trail past a number of Tucson landmarks, including the Pima County Courthouse, the Gazebo in La Placita, El Tiradito and more. Participants will receive a T-shirt (while supplies last) and water and, after the walk, are welcome to join the mayor at La Cocina for refreshments.

“Walking is great exercise and it’s fun to be a ‘tourist’ in your own city,” said Mayor Rothschild. “I encourage Tucsonans of all ages to join me for this pleasant walk that takes in some of our historic sights.”

Invite your friends to exercise & walk with the Mayor. Let’s get moving, Tucson.
