From Buckeye we headed for Tucson to meet up with friends Christine and Hugh (from Victoria). Hugh had flown back to Victoria for a week to deal with some medical issues.
On the way to Tucson we spent half a day at the highly recommended Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Included in the museum are examples of all the desert flora and fauna, a hummingbird display, a live flying raptor exhibit, several animals (like mountain lion), a cave exhibit, an aquarium etc. There were many visitors who come back frequently and it is a privately supported Museum with many volunteers, docents etc. On the way to Tucson we passed by Old Tucson and may go back and visit this movie set which is now translated into a tourist exhibit "where the spirit of the old west comes alive".
We are now at Voyager Hotel and RV Resort for a week parked besides Christine's 5th wheel and appreciating her orientation to Tucson. The annual Gem Show is on and visits are being made to this huge international annual event located at several sites south of Tucson.
This resort has about 1500 sites - mostly "manufactured" homes but also RVs which are either visiting or permanently here. What is impressive is the many activities that occur on a daily basis. There is a woodworking shop with the latest equipment and special rooms for multiple arts and crafts. This evening we are going to be playing duplicate bridge. It will be the fifth time we have played bridge on this trip. (We were fortunate to find people to play with at two previous RV parks) They have a weekly get together here for Canadians (also for several US states) and even a discussion group on Economics and World history that I might go to.
At the end of the week we will go to another Arizona State Park called Catalina just north of Tuscon. On Sunday 17th the Tuscon Symphony and Chorus are performing Verdi's Requiem which we have tickets for.
The weather is clear - up to 70F during the day but cool at night.
It is nice to relax a bit and spend a week in one place.
Yours in pursuit of continued RV Adventures.
Shaun and Penny and Lucy.
