Since I last posted we
been for a bike ride along a different segment of the Santa Cruz
Wash. Also visited some friends from Anchorage. The big attraction
over the last few days has been an all day visit to the Sonora Desert
Museum, its a sample of the birds, plants and animals of the Sonora
Desert. We went to a lecture and demonstration of a Gila Monster and
Grand Canyon rattle snake. We also saw a live free flight program of
birds of prey.

Our next day trip was to
visit the Pima Air and Space Museum. This Museum has 100's of
different type of Aircraft, most of them are Military Aircraft but
also there are a lot of civilian planes. We went on a docent lead
tour of 4 of the hangers, and then we were on our own to explore some
of the rest of the museum. We really enjoyed touring the 390th
Memorial Museum. The 390th was a bomber squadron station
in England during World War 2. There is a rebuilt B17
bomber inside, a list of the mission that they participated in during
the war. We also spent some time in the Space Gallery. Seeing this
museum in a day you just skim the surface.
It starting raining in
Tucson last night and it rain quite a bit today, and we were surprise
to see the Santa Cruz River actually had water running in it. Tucson
gets 15 days of rain a year.
