I'm writing from room #9 of the Connor Hotel. Dont ever rent this room. It has no windows!!!!
Here is the hotel -

Although the Connor Advertises "A room with a View" in fact that is most ironic. Our room has no window.. Not no view - no window! But the bar is very cool old time southwest feel the bartender looks like Danni from American pickers and mixes some mean drinks. and the Hotel overall is pretty cool.In fact the whole town of Jerome Az is relly cool. Its an old mining town perched precariously on the side of a mountain overlooking an old mine. No walmarts or malls - this town is vibrant and gritty and amazingly scenic -

A cursory glance through one of our SD cards reveals mom created many videos of our trip - I have to go through and see what is usable.
