Snow in Tucson


Last night I had a nightmare. It was so real!! The wind was blowing and the snow was hitting our little rv window. Thought I was in Kincardine. This morning we looked outside and wow, snow on the roof of the truck.
Yesterday I played tennis and last night it snowed. Quite a place.

La Parrilla Suiza (Mexican Restaurant)


Great restaurant with massive amounts of food. Our waiter was a doll and he is the first person I practised my newly acquired ability to speak Spanish. My very first sentence was the universally required words of a traveller. Where is the bathroom?

Dorango Golf Course




Dorango is an executive course where we play for $15 a round. Note the incredible view of the mountains and water hazard that we try to forget about when teeing off. It is about 10 minute drive from the rv park. This house is an example of the beautiful southerwestern style of homes surrounding the course. We often converse with the owners while retrieving a ball from their patio wall.

Visiting Joanne and Bob











Lemon tree very pretty and wow what a pile of lemons in my sister's backyard. The protective thorns took quite a bite out of my finger when I picked this one.

The Sisters together again!!

Nick, Bob, and Joanne by one of the many cactii on their property. Don't ever backup. Those plants are mean.

Thinking of bringing this one home with me!!!





Tubac, AZ
















Tubac is on of the most picturesque place we've visited. The pots and chile peppers are a photographer's dream.
The Native American that I am getting close and personal to, fools shoppers as he looks so genuine. Nick is getting some money making ideas from Albert Einstein. The moose is an excellent example of the type of sculptures in the walking garden.

Bear Canyon, Tucson




We hiked up the mountain at Bear Canyon. All along the way are huge cactii of every description. Felt like we were in a Western. Later found out that after three days of 80 degree temperature, the rattle snakes come out!!


Arizona 2009


We have arrived at The Voyager Resort. Note the palm trees and cactus. Registration is dead ahead and the hotel is to the left.
