Tucson, AZ

We know it's been awhile since we've updated everyone, so here goes:

Sunday 1/30 was a driving day to complete our journey across TX (including El Paso) and getting to Las Cruces, NM.  We arrived in Las Cruces early enough to set up and have a pleasant conversation with our new neighbor, who was replacing the battery in his Honda ST1300.  After cleaning up some leftovers, we found a nearby custard stand for dessert.

Monday was another driving day to get to Tucson AZ where we met up with one of Paige's former coworkers and her husband who have been on the road fulltime for about 6 years.  We found the RV park they are staying in, and got one of the few short-term sites available:

They came to visit us at our place for awhile, then we went out to dinner together to keep the conversations going.

Today, Tuesday, started the day by taking a walk around the park.  Here is one of our neighbors:

If you can't make out the sign in the windshield, it says "Trailer Trash" but notice their car to the left, a Rolls Royce.

Later we played tourist on our own for most of the day, first visiting the Pima Air and Space Museum which has everything from a Wright Brothers replica to a supersonic Blackbird.  We took the tram tour outside where they have all their planes.  Interesting but we froze after awhile!

Later in the afternoon we toured the Mission San Xavier del Bac.  This mission is a Spanish mission that was built around 1690.  Very beautiful!

Back at the RV park, we closed out the day with a wonderful dinner at Dan and Pam's place.  They gave us lots of good ideas and encouragement, and we wished each other well tonight, as we will leave for Paula's in Phoenix in the morning.  We hope to see them again before we leave Arizona.
