Photo: crossing-guard cactus

My first stop was the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum... which, really isn't a museum at all, but more like a zoo. Ok, actually, I lied. My first stop was a scenic outlook on the way to the zoo. The view wasn't all that scenic, but here is a funny-looking cactus I saw. Reminds me of a crossing guard.

Tucson Trek: Part I

It rained all day Saturday, forcing me to postpone my weekend travel plans until Sunday. I must have a few friends upstairs, because even though it called for rain on Sunday, the weather was absolutely fabulous as I cruised down the I-10 in my 2006 Mustang.

So... remember how I said I was going to be less picky when taking photos? Well, I filled my 1GB card, and almost filled my 512MB card. Granted, I am shooting in RAW, so my image sizes are larger... but still, I took about 250 photos in less than 12 hours. I'd say that's pretty good. Taking that into consideration, I will be only posting a few pictures at a time.

Rain rain, go away...

Please come back after I've left Arizona. Or at least wait until a weekday. My plans have been foiled :( It doesn't rain for a record 140 days, but as soon as my first Saturday rolls around... bam!

I guess I will go to the mall. Turns out it's a lot colder than I thought it would be, and I only have t-shirts.

I pimped my ride!

So there is another perk that I will lose when I turn... er... older than I am now, next week: I will no longer be required to pay the "underage fee" when renting a car. Why is this a good thing to have, you ask? Well, when the company is paying for the car, it means you get to switch companies and henceforth cars.

Originally, I got this lovely Nissan Altima... one of the cars that I'd always admired, but never got to drive. Well, turns out it sucks. Perhaps it was just the one I got, but the engine was running 4000 RPM at only 120kph. Boo-urns!



So yesterday I got a massive upgrade. Check it out here!

Yeeeeeee-ha!

2+2=5

So essentially, this is what happened to me on my trip to Arizona on Monday. Click on the picture to be able to read the text.

I made it!

I wanted to let everyone know that I survived the journey to Arizona, with only a few bumps and bruises. The weather here is amazing... just the right temperature... about 25 degrees celsius, but it's dry. I haven't been able to figure out this calling card thingy, so if anyone was expecting to get a call... well, I guess you'll have to wait. I'll post more details later tonight, but I need to get groceries now.

But I should mention that Customs & Immigration people are meanies.
