Dec. 10th
Last night it was 27 Deg. F-- frost this morning. As we drove through New Mexico there were cattle on the prairie grass and orchards of Pecan trees with mountains in the distance. We went through a security checkpoint for illegal Mexicans.
We arrived in sunny Tucson, AZ --74 Deg. F. Tucson is the largest city in Arizona situated in a large valley of cacti surrounded by mountains. Rincon Country West RV Resort on the edge of Tucson has over 1000 RV and Park Model sites. There are palm trees on every site and every amenity possible. After settling in we walked around the resort; liked it and the warm weather and decided to stay a week.

Ralph cooked breakfast outside this warm sunny morning. We drove to the Visitor Center in downtown Tucson,shopped at Walmart,washed the truck,did grocery shopping and laundry. I finally got my nails done.
We put up Christmas lights on our 5th wheel and a Christmas tree inside. Everyone has such beautiful Christmas decorations up in the park. Warm evening 75 Deg. F./BBQ'd steak outside.

Another warm day. We drove 35 miles northeast of Tucson to see Biosphere 2. The center is a research facility studying the effects of climate change on life on earth. It consists of glass and steel structures that encompasses 3 acres and 5 biomes: rain forest,ocean,savanna,desert and marsh. In the early nineties 8 people lived in that environment. An amazing facility!
We stopped for a very late lunch at Bubb's Grub Saloon on the way back.

It was good to hear from you yesterday. Our snow didn't even stay on the ground the whole day. And tomorrow it is suppose to be in the 70's. Unbelievable weather. I'm glad ya'll have enjoyed the food you picked up in Lafayette. I was thinking when you get back to the states after Christmas, I could pick up some items for you. I could have it overnighted to you at your campground. We are going back to Florida the weekend after New Years to have some more work done on the RV. After that is done, we are going to meet some friends from Florida at Fort Desota in Tampa. They have a state campground there. We will return home on Jan. 23rd. So I could get that in the mail to you the last week in Jan., if you would like. John and I were talking about your freezer situation. We decided you guys need an RV. I'm sure Ralph will appreciate John's input. I thought you could just get a generator, and put a chest freezer underneath like we do. Anyway, it looks like you two are still sightseeing away and having a good time. I need to start on my Christmas wrapping. Will check on you guys later. Your cajun friends, John and Sherryl
