Life in Arizona

Hi All,

We are settled in at Tumacacori NHP, volunteering three days a week and birding, hiking and shopping on our days off.

The old mission church is still a magical place and the staff is really appreciative of our support.

This weekend we went up to Tucson for an overnight. First stop was the holiday light display at Tohono Chul Botanical Gardens. They claim 1,000,000 lights and who are we to dispute that. They also had these spectacular propane heaters that both warmed and fascinated everyone.


We are still not used to seeing palm trees with holiday lights

Within the park were several live performance venues. The leader of this group (second from left) is the son of Ted DeGrazia, the local artist we raved about last year.

Here are some cactus with Tucson in the background

More lights contributing to the million count.
Sunday we went to the 4th Avenue Craft Fair. Six blocks, 30 vendors per block on each side plus another 50 or so on the side streets, at least 400 vendors!

Outside the parking garage we spotted this sign that is sure to be effective. The small print at the bottom says,"located above World of Beer"


Many fairs have balloon sculptures but Bob Marley would love this creation!

The crowds seemed endless as we shopped along 4th Ave.
Life is good, Happy Holidays to all.

Love,
