Yuma Lettuce Days

Saturday: (03/12) Cereal for breakfast.

We went in to Yuma for the Yuma Lettuce Days. Lunch was a shared Indian fry bread taco and some lettuce wraps. Very good.

For dinner Lou had leftover chicken and I had some spare ribs. She added a green salad made from a sample head of lettuce from the festival,  and leftover rice.

We arrived a bit early for the festival so we took a walk by the river near the Old Quartermasters grounds.
