Howdy from Tucson! We apologize for the poor timeliness of this blog post as we experienced technological issues hindering our posting process.
Starting with a scenic hour-and-a-half drive from Tucson to Bisbee, students were able to enjoy naps, a game of cards, or some light reading (just because we aren't in school doesn't mean we have forgotten about the importance of continuing to pursue academics). Arriving in Bisbee a little before 11:00 am, we had just the perfect amount of time to wander and peruse the shops and scenery of the tiny town, most namely Bisbee Olive Oil and the haunted Copper Queen Hotel. After a lunch of bratwursts and chili at Old Bisbee Brewing Company, we had the experience of a lifetime at Copper Queen Mine Tours, where we traversed deep into the historic Copper Queen mining site alongside a former employee of the mine. We were immersed in the rich history and facts of the structure and experienced first-hand what it was like to work in the mine with insightful demonstrations. The Copper Queen Mine supplied an abundance of copper to the U.S. until it closed in 1975 when it began to run dry of its sources.
After departing from Bisbee, students got the opportunity to return to their hotel rooms to briefly freshen up before attending dinner at Guillermo's in Tucson.
Today was such a fruitful day full of learning and bonding with classmates, and we can't wait to do it all again tomorrow!
