A Day in Tucson, AZ

The main attraction here seems to be cactus, cactus, and more cactus.  The city is easy to get around and very clean - from what I saw of it.  I like it here, but the 107-degree heat is a bit much!!

 

This was a neighborhood with some beautiful homes.  And, again, every yard has nothing but cactus.

 

I thought this artwork on the freeway entrance was pretty.

 

 

 

On the drive to the National Park, you pass through this mountain park.  It was really beautiful with a very winding road.

 

 

Me enjoying this beautiful place!

 

 

 

The place is beautiful, but really, really, really hot!

 

"This is Africa-hot!"

 

And, I topped my day off with a fantastic meal from Lovin' Spoonfuls, a vegetarian restaurant here in Tucson.  It was delicious.

 

 

This is a fake-bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

 

These were fake-chicken strips.  OMG, they were delicious!  (What wouldn't be delicious about anything batter-fried?!)
