Tucson

We're back in civilization.    Back in the land of trains, and sirens and lots of people.     We're happy to be here, Tucson has a lot going for it but I'm experiencing a bit of culture shock from the laid back atmosphere of Borrego Springs.

Our site is the one I picked last year when we were here.   It backs up to the electric storage area where we left Beluga when we drove the Jeep to Santa Fe for our lovely Christmas holiday.  These sites are relatively spacious and quiet (as quiet as city dwelling can be) and we've set up our sitting area toward the back of the site under a blossoming orange tree.   The fragrance is divine!


Lewis entertains us there at second cup.    He plays his favorite games, "Who Stole the Fish, or Where's my Ball, or The Rug Ate my Ball".    He makes us laugh.



He plays a variation of those games at Gramma Pamma's house, a few rows in front of us, whenever he can.   Life is good for Lewis.


So far we've been hitting the places we didn't have at Borrego Springs - CostCo, Trader Joes, World Market, Fry's, AJ's Fine Foods, etc (Retail Deprivation)   We watched the Super Bowl on the resort's provided cable tv.

Last night we had a really yummy seafood dinner at Mariscos Chihuahua with Pam, John, MonaLiza and Steve.    If you'd like to see a picture of actual people, ask MonaLiza (Lowestravels.com).    She had the waiter take multiple shots of us!


The restaurant is one of a small chain in the area and it's walls are decorated with interesting, ocean themed murals.   I took no pictures of our meals.   We all enjoyed our shrimp choices, some of us ate everything provided, some took the leftovers home.   We ended the evening by sharing a delicious cinnamon scented Flan to celebrate MonaLiza's 60th birthday.

Today we took the Jeep for its regular oil change.   Don't ask how how we feel about Larry H. Miller's service department after our appointment.....Just don't ask!


That's all for now.....

  1. Yes, I, too, am so missing a quiet night's sleep! The train whistles are not my friend!! I do love the stores but so miss the lack of people and calm atmosphere of BS. So nice to have a child that can entertain himself while you enjoy second cup. He is such a ham:)

  2. Oh you two make us so jealous. You are with Pam and John again! Think of us. Lol.
    Tucson is one of our favorite places. I am sure y’all will find more new places to visit. Enjoy.

  3. What a fun dinner that must have been, with a whole group of our favorite traveling buddies! The train whistles, not so good, but orange blossom aromatherapy sounds pretty sweet. :-)

  5. I always wonder what they must be thinking when playing the same games over and over with the same results :-) Love orange blossoms - hope they hang in there another ten days! We've yet to get out of the frenetic energy of the city since we left SoCal and are looking forward to several days in Tombstone.

  6. Oh how I love the smell of orange blossoms. The beauty of a home on wheels is traveling between the boonies and the city. Stock up and head back to the boonies.

  7. Shame on me for not sending our group photo :( I was a little too distracted with our visits to medical folks. I know, city living is the pits but we do need a little break from the stillness of the night some of the time :)
