Tucson, AZ

The morning started on the campus of the University of Arizona walking from faculty to faculty.  We walked past the football stadium, which is bigger than the Sydney Football Stadium, I was totally blown away.  The campus is huge and it takes a long time to cover the grounds.  We also went by Amy’s old Sorority House.  We stopped at the Sausage Deli for lunch – this, ironically for a vegetarian, is another of Amy’s Tucson favorites.  After lunch we drove west of the city, up through Gate’s pass, over to Saguaro National Park.  We stopped at various points to take pictures of these massive 12 foot plus cacti. 

Me, Saguaro National Park, Arizona

Again this was another landscape I’d never seen before, and made me feel like I’d stepped on to the set of an old Western movie.  On the drive home we stopped at the pharmacy to pick up some photos and for our daily ice cream.  We also did some shopping at a second hand store.  When we got back to the hotel, we went down the afternoon and spent the late afternoon relaxing there.  We had dinner at Rosa’s restaurant – Amy’s favorite Mexican restaurant in the world.  After dinner we had drinks at Shelter before settling in for the night.
