... zavírá v 17 h a tak se vydáváme hledat Saguaro NM, původně východní část. Přes půl hodiny bloudíme kolem otřesných zbohatlických apartnámů a golfovýho kurtu, kvůli kterýmu před lety doslova pokáceli celej les saguár. No hnus. (To je teda můj soukromej názor.) O zavírací dob ...

... these two men. Despite the fact that these two films are across the board different from each other, not only where and when they take place but also the way the films are made, Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin is a black and white silent film and Braveheart is full color and sound. However the similar aspect of one man leading his people in a revolution is the reason why I find these two films to have comparable thrilling plots.

Thursday, 7/30/09.....We're now aware of the warm weather, so we're off at 7:15 A.M.
Our trip is now mostly freeway (15 S) but we'll soon connect to 89 S via 70 E. Not sure how far we'll get tonight or where we'll camp.
Approaching Kanab, Ut. Might be a good place to call it a day. The Kanab RV Park looks inviting and ends up being a very nice ...

Ashley, Maddy, Brooke and I drove to Tucson to spend a week with my Dad and Betty. We visited with my brother Kary his wife Vickie and there daugher Kelsey. We drove to Mount Lemmon one day. I played 4 rounds of golf with Dad. Dad hosted a nice party. It was awesome

... Sonora-Des**t Museum. Eine sup** schöne Anlage, eine Mischung aus botanischem Garten mit ein klein wenig Zoo. Das alles ist als Rundweg angelegt. Unglaublich, wie viele Pflanzen in d** Wüste wachsen und wie viele Ti**e es gibt. Jetzt im Frühjahr haben auch viele Kakteen und Pflanzen geblüht. Eine einzige Farbenpracht. Keine Ahnung, wie weit wir gelaufen sind, ab** etwas üb** 2 Stunden, und das alles bei 38 Grad. In dies** Zeit ...

... up for our approach into O'Hare. Visibility in the area was good and I saw that a long procession of planes were in the same landing pattern as our plane and I could even see planes a couple miles off headed in the opposite direction. As we made our final turn over the Great Lake and flew over the north-side of the city I could see the skyscrapers of downtown Chi-town and even caught a glimpse of Wrigley Field where the Cubs play. The plane landed without incident.

... getting home on our around the 31st of December. A fair bit earlier than we had planned, but I'm getting really excited to be home and see Denise!

Thanks again everbody for reading and keeping up! I have quite a few pictures and will be putting together a slide show soon!

Take care, and have a happy holiday season!

... doing the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. We saw black bears, mountain lions, prairie dogs, lizards, caves, variety of minerals, reptiles, fishes, otters, birds, and tons of other animals. We learned about cactus and the evolution of Earth. It was really hot out since the sun came out. Brett bumped his head when we were finding our way through the dark cave. Now we are tired and heading to our next destination, Phoenix, AZ.

... Saturday, November 6th I can't get enough of the desert so I headed out to Sabino Canyon for some hiking. On the way you pass a huge airfield full of decommissioned war planes. There are acres and acres of old planes just rotting in the sun. I found out that they offer tours of the place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10:30am. Sabino Canyon is yet another wonderful example of Arizona's desert landscape. I did a 9 mile hike in the afternoon heat which ...
