( Writing this on January 5, from Darby Well Road in Ajo. Arizona. )
On January 4, before going on a walk at Darby Well Road, we drove the 10 miles into Ajo, to shop at the IGA and look around the town. Very impressive for such a small town. Have a look at some of the things we saw.
Ajo Immaculate Conception Church
Built in 1924
Public library located in the Old Town Plaza.
Ajo Copper News established in 1916.
Curly School, formerly the public school built in 1919, was completely renovated and opened in 2007 as artist's lofts and workshops.
In the center of Old Town Plaza the Santa house was still set up and I liked the palm trees in the background.
 A wall of flowering shrubs... |  ...in front of a restaurant. |
Loaded lemon and orange trees taller than the house.
Beautiful palms...
...a house we liked...
...and creative decorating with Agave.
And lastly, the New Cornelia Copper Mine that opened in 1917 and closed in 1983. Ajo was built around the mine and the loss of work for the town was devastating. However, Ajo is prospering as as artist community now.
