It's a Zoo Out There

Are you going to the drive through?

As we walked out of the front door of Bank of America this morning we had an unusual encounter.  Coming down the sidewalk toward the bank was a horse and rider.  He stopped so I asked the only logical question, "Headed to the drive through?"  His answer. "Nope, across the street to Walgreens."  You ask a stupid question.....you get a.......   I sort of enjoyed the whole episode.

We were off to the Honda dealer this morning.  Time for an oil change and an inspection before we enter Mexico.  We have only put 17,000 miles on the Fit in the last 18 months.  That's less than 1,000 miles a month.  The last few months we've upped that average quite a bit.

While we were waiting we walked through the new car showroom.  We noticed that every car had darkly tinted windows.  We asked why?  They said every car they sold was that way because of all the sun in Tucson.

As you may remember we had the top of the front windshield tinted when we were in Gallup, New Mexico.  That was a very good decision.  Today it was time to have the rest of the car done.  We are now as darkly tinted on all windows as Arizona law will allow.

Because we will be following the sun for the next several years it seemed a wise decision to get the tinting done now.  It will make driving the car more comfortable in the future.

Guess what we did while the windows were being tinted?

As we drove to the Honda dealer we had passed the zoo.  Terri mentioned she hadn't been to a zoo in a long time.  We had a few hours to kill so we took the dealers shuttle to the zoo that was only a few minutes away.

Lazy Leopard

The Tucson Zoo turned out to be very nice and was just the right size to be covered in a few hours.  It was going to be in the low 90's today so we had a warm 3 hour walk.  The zoo was not busy today so we shared the experience with a bunch of preschool aged children and their moms.

Tired Tiger

It was 95 degrees in the motorhome when we got back so I followed the lead from the leopard and the tiger.  I took a nap.

It's 8:00 and 80 degrees as I write this evening.  Downright chilly here in Tucson.

We have no plans for tomorrow so it will be interesting to see what we do when we get up.  Adventures or chores around the RV, we'll see.
