Hi everyone, We left camp after lunch and drove to Tucson. Quite a nice city. Not one American did we encounter. But that's O.K. They are lovely and friendly people. We drove to Saguaro Nat'l Park. This is the site of the world's largest cactus. Awesome!! It has been dubbed the "desert monarch." It looks like a burly giant with arms and at the tip of the arms beautiful blossoms and figlike friuts grow. The Sonoran Desert is the only place in the world where these giants grow. All over the mountains and desert you see hundreds of these plants. All sizes. They don't develop their "arms" until they are 75 years old and can live as long as 200 years.
We drove all over the desert and were amazed at the beautiful homes. We drove to old Tucson . They re-enact movies and dances in the old West. Interesting place. We love Tucson, even though we prefer smaller cities. More tomorrow. Eddy, we have a Canon power shot camera.

Thanks for the camera info. Can you please give me the model number of the Canon?
ReplyDeleteIf you are near Scottsdale, there is a REAL local place called GREASEWOOD FLATS on Pima road - it is outside dining in the desert - they do specialize in burgers but I'm sure they have salads too, and they have great nachos. It's definitely worth seeing. If you do, please take a picture for me.
Continued fun travels.
