This is one of the things I wanted to see in Arizona. I think all these large cacti are cool. I didn’t really start running into the saguaro cactus until I got about 20 miles east of Tucson I-10. I think they are very attractive. Continue reading

Mount Lemmon AZ Drive
I’m in Arizona. I ask the locals what there is to see. Everyone says Mount Lemmon. I’m thinking, okay, I’ll go. So I take the drive up Mount Lemmon starting at Tucson and ending up at the Mount Lemmon Post Office. Continue reading
My Visit to Tucson AZ
I had a lovely time in Tucson. I spent one day with Dick and Carol, a lovely couple in Green Valley, AZ and two days with Trish, a couchsurfer in Tucson. Tucson is a large city. It’s very spread out, like most American cities. It has a population of almost 1,000,000. It’s got most of the things people need, including a large university – the University of Arizona. It’s also full of people just like me – old people.

- It’s a wall near the Tucson Art Museum. I was told the museum is closed on Monday. Since it was Monday I didn’t try to get in. Maybe another day.

- It was the Tuscon visitor’s center. It was located downtown. It was east to get to. You’ll see signs labeled “Tourist Information” all over Arizona. More often than not, the just want to sell you something. This is the official one for Tuscon. They have lots of good stuff. It’s located in downtown Tuscon.

- How would you like to see this baby coming after you? Scary, huh? Actually, it looks like something the police chief might take to the golf course. It was parked at the local bus terminal.

- These are palm trees in Tucson, AZ. The are located at the Presidio which is in downtown Tucson. Notice the blue sky. There are not a lot of clouds in the AZ sky. It’s the desert effect.

- I snapped this picture to show Congress St. It looked like it could be the street for bars in Tucson. Or at last one of them. I also found a place called Fourth Avenue. It also looked like an area for watering holes and eclectic dining. Hip has all kines of ways of showing itself. Notice the bus in the picture. Notice the street car line above the bus. I did not see a street car the whole time I was in Tucson. I did see lots of tracks. Also not the Hotel Congress.

- In downtown Tuscon there is the main bus terminal. When I was at the main library in downtown Tucson I found a map of the bus system. Tucson is quite large, geographically. The bus terminal in Tucson was reminiscent of bus terminal I’ve seen all over America. Not a lot of Fortune 500 executives ride city buses anywhere in the United States.
