We arrived in Tucson on Monday and got settled in to our site here at Justin's Diamond J. The RV park is probably only a third full at the moment. It will be interesting to see when the influx of snowbirds start arriving for the winter.
Yesterday, we took a drive to Green Valley to go to their Farmers Market. To me, a Farmers Market is primarily about produce with other items also available to purchase. However, in Utah and now Arizona, I have discovered that Farmers Market means sellers selling primarily items other than produce. Such a disappointment. We did, however, purchase two fresh tamales along with three samples of salsa that we took home to eat for lunch. They were very good.
The wind has been blowing so strong the past two days, that we sought out something indoors to enjoy this afternoon. We decided on the International Wildlife Museum. Click on this link for a description of what the museum is all about. The first thing we did was buy the Tucson Passport for $15 which has many 2 for 1 discounts for many of the popular attractions here in Tucson. The Passport pays for itself rather quickly when you visit popular Tucson sights. We saved $8 on the admission to the museum - passport almost paid for.
The displays are beautiful and the museum is well worth seeing. Most of the animals/insects on display we would never have the opportunity to see if not for some wonderful examples of taxidermy.
The wind has finally lessened which allowed us to enjoy the evening sitting outside where we heard coyotes off in the distance and got to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Got to love this view.
