Tucson Desert Museum

---

Hi all,

Not too much to tell, but I do have a few pictures to show you. On Wednesday last, we went to the 'Desert Museum' in Tucson. There was a chill in the air and a very brisk (cold) breeze. We arrived early and there were only a few cars in the parking lot. We went in (and I guess) due to the lack of visitors at that time, we had a personal guide for about the first hour. We learned a lot. The animals are outdoors in their natural habitats and some were reluctant to come out in the cold. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Merry Christmas! Tomorrow I will be baking pumpkin/spice muffins and making pasta salad for our neighbors Christmas Eve party....and Tuesday, we will have Christmas dinner in the clubhouse, it will be a nice social event. Would much rather spend the holidays with my family......but at least we will not be alone (like last Christmas).

fish in a desert steam
I never would have guessed that there are fish in Arizona...but there are......

fruits of the cactus
they look like tiny pineapples and are told that they are really sweet tasting.

Javelinas
believe it or not....they are NOT related to pigs!! I am told these run through the RV park and even will go under the RV's at night. We have never seen them in the RV park...although...we DO hear occasional 'thumps' outside our RV at night.....
