With a bit more time available this weekend and better weather we decide to drive south the explore the area around Patagonia. We have been here before but there are still multiple areas we haven’t explored yet as well as a winery we want to try right in the middle of the town. In addition we are able to reserve two spots on the rare birding tour in the Sonoita Creek Preserve that we wanted to visit for some time so there is a great reason to visit this weekend. Ultimately everything is great and we see many birds, enjoy some good wines and even get cultured by visiting the local museum.
