Finally we arrived in Tucson after a long trip south from Alberta. We don't have WiFi, but are able to plug in at the
Gospel Rescue Mission in one of their renovated motel rooms. We haven't had The Tour yet, but what we have seen of this facility for women and children looks very wonderful. After we had our first meeting, the women found out what they were to be doing, which may change from time to time. I'm going to be doing sewing, that is, mending, and tutoring. That's fine with me as long as I don't have to do algebra! The men won't find out their jobs until Monday morning. It is hot here, 28 degrees, but not as hot as Yuma was at 34 (we were there for 2 days while our neighbours settled into their winter home.) At least we have air conditioning!
We saw some spectacular desert scenery on our way down, as we camped in a corner of Utah near St George, at
Snow Canyon. The name has nothing to do with snow, but named after pioneer brothers in the area. The campsite was surrounded by gorgeous red rounded rocks. The Valley of Fire in Nevada was red rocks on a larger scale, sort of like many Ayer's Rocks (Australian Outback) . Terry and I have found some interesting birds such as the
Greater Roadrunner, and
Phainopepla which looks like a black jay!
