We are not in Tucson any longer, but we had a lovely stay and have plans to return. Our last few days in Tucson had us catching up with friends, getting some much needed haircuts, touring a big Cave, and going for one final hike (for this trip). Oh yes, and being “gifted” with two hummingbirds from Taj, the hunter.
In 2016, we house sat in Green Valley for 3 months. We met up with that couple (the humans not the dogs we cared for) for lunch and got caught up with their travels including an upcoming one to South America. They were kind enough to ask us to sit for them during that trip, so from late February to late March of next year, we will be caring for their new home in Tubac (a little south of Green Valley) as well as their dogs Molly and Maya.
We also had dinner with the woman for whom we did a 2.5 week house sit in July of 2017. We had a great visit with her after getting a tour of her newly-renovated house and getting reacquainted with her dogs, Dot and Raina. It was great catching up, and we hope to visit with her again when we are back in the area next year.
We also made time for a trip to the Colossal Cave just outside of Tucson proper. We had a fun tour and a little picnic on the grounds.
On our last full day in a Tucson we had a great hike to the Romero pools in Santa Catalina State Park. This was a challenging hike with some good elevation changes. While we were pleased to see that there was actually water in the pools, the scenery on the way is what really made the hike great.
