OK, one more Tucson pic

Of course we were there during the busiest time of the year, when 30 some odd hotels around the whole Tucson area are booked solid with vendors and buyers, the expo halls are filled with booths, the rooms are filled with people, and even at some motels the ground floor rooms were rented out by the vendors and set up shop right there on the beds. This was the game plan at most of the smaller venues... just walking from motel room to motel room shopping for gems, stones, and whatever else.
