Yuma - Arizona

Mixed up and odd pics....

We went for a walk on the Colorado river, onward to Yuma prison...
see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pS7BloOA1U

Scary place ie the Dark Cell, so dark we couldn't see further than a couple of feet, hollowed out of solid rock,  prisoners were put in there as a punishment and chained to the floor in a cage:( (not much fun).

Main prison block - six prisoners to a cell 12ft X 9ft and temperatures were 110 degrees farenheit in summer - or 43 centigrade HOT!!!

Ohhhh yes and the penguin!!!

Gatling gun and an assortment of old vehicles...

Did I mention we are having a fabulous time!!!!

Spot the butterflies mmm there are two!!! Not sure what they are doing !!!!

This Cactus is over 8 feet tall!!!!!!!!!!

Now you know what the Penguins t
do in their spare time sell insurance!!!!!

Cacti are huge here.....
