How do I love Tucson? Let me count the ways!
Sunsets - Amazing and colorful -- the whole sky lights up at dusk!
Nature - my walks were highlighted by hawks, doves, hummingbirds, prairie dogs, roadrunners, and red-winged blackbirds. Happily, I didn't run across any rattlesnakes, coyotes or javelina, but they are rumored to be around. We have heard the coyotes howling at night.
Saguaros - I even learned to pronounce it right - Sah wah row
University of Arizona - We attended some women's basketball games
Shopping!!!
Three Whole Foods
Two Natural Grocers
Trader Joe's
And I haven't even gotten into see what Sprouts is all about
Albertsons, Frys, and Safeway
Target and Wal Mart
Sam's Club and Costco
Art on the street corners - I hope to get one of my favorite statue before we leave, but here's a giant wine bottle for now.
History - from missions to museums to movie studios
Culture - besides dancing girls, they also have a symphony orchestra
Casinos
Three within a short distance and they have events for the public, such as the Balloon Glow and a wine and beer tasting event.
Friendly People - well, except when they're driving
Relatively low cost of living
After last summer on the west coast, it was a relief to pay normal prices for groceries and gas.
Parks - national parks, state parks, county parks, city parks, everywhere you look!
Disc Golf
We've played three different courses here - choices!
Mountains - all around you
Sunshine - abundant sunshine
Rainbows after nearly every rain
