... this mission to advocate for Lizzie and other people like her who rely on the generosity of others. I would like to be a part of more trips like this to educate/encourage public volunteerism. I am thankful I could be a small part of this team.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement.
... drink, bathroom.... I would have to say I was very humbled by this bike trip. This Indiana girl was not prepared for the hill climbs. The fun part was there were so many cyclists to talk to and share the experience- that we all were in this together to encourage and enjoy each other. The beauty of the climbs and descents were worth every mile. I enjoyed myself so much. This was a great way to spend a vacation! I was relieved we only did 80 miles because I do not ...
Tucson, Arizona, United States dwolf1... more expensive to restore these adobe buildings than to flatten them and start over, so when you see individuals putting this much love and $$$ into an area, it's heart warming.
I LOVED the colors. Color like that is a celebration of life! You walk down the street and just start smiling for nothing because of all the crazy, kooky colors. Like maybe skipping would be best.
Yea, that's it. You skip down the street...
... these two older people who (I believe) did not speak English. The food was great and quite spicy.
we then went out to investigate the National landmarks around Tucson, We went to the State park and I saw cactus like I have never seen before. We also stopped at the St Xavier Chapel- built in the 1620s. The contrast of the large white chapel and the very deep blue of the sky was......wow.
we are gearing up for the ride tomorrow-
my flights were quite fun! I think we had the oldest male flight attendant in the history of flight on the trip from Denver(no snow) to Tucson.
being up at 4:00 am to go anywhere is a challenge to me. anyway, Nancy(Denver RN) and I arrived in Tucson at the same time. We were met by the host mom Kathy Bell and she took us to our beautiful condo at the foot of the mountains. Nancy and I walked on the riverwalk, which is really a sandy walk ...
... and not on the banks of a small stream?
We learned why as we investigated further.
Great care has been taken to restore, repair and revive San Xavier. Begun in 1783, it's been hit by lightening, shaken by earthquakes, and nearly ruined by water (go figure).
Surrounding missions have been deserted and drifted off into the desert, but San Xavier is a vibrant, working church with a dedicated ...
Uneventful drive home, and we're back and relaxed. We're not ones to reflect too much on trips taken, just to look ahead at our next trip. Although, we'd have to say that while it would be great to spend more time in some of these parks, there isn't always time to do so. In addition, there isn't always more than a day's worth of park ...
Tucson, Arizona, United States tknaskedov... to team them with Children of The Gravy and maybe get onto my friend Albert to put another act on. I'd DJ after the gig then. I chatted with Kelly the lead singer for a bit and she got me a signed CD and some info on the band. They are the exact kind of pop punk I like. You can check them out over at www.dollyrots.com. After that I went back to the hostel and brought back beers for everyone and ordered a pizza for all the guys..man ...
Tucson, Arizona, United States fintanmoloney... have no where to stay during our trip, a house that needs cleaned and laundry that needs washed.not to mention Brandon is having poker night the night before we leave and I don't get off work until 11pm... that gives me only a couple of hours to double check everything before our 5am flight, not to mention sleep! I guess we will see how thing play out!
Tucson, Arizona, United States callisto186... not even register to them (i.e. the diversity of people and of the different regions). Last night I didn't sleep as well because of the snoring coming from the French woman in the bunk next to me. Then, they all woke up at 5-7am so I decided to get up as well. I really like being up in the morning when I don't have to rush off to my hated job. Today, I've decided I'm driving to Mexico. We'll see how that goes. It should be interesting to say the least.
