More Photos Of Tucson

A few more pictures from our trip to Tucson. All in all it was a good trip. We got in some quality pet time with the dog, got our necessary shopping done and enjoyed some good coffee at a local coffee shop every morning. The owners of the coffee shop are originally from Alaska and we enjoyed chatting with them every morning. If you want a good cup of coffee at a friendly place, go to "Coffees On" on Campbell about a block north of Grant. The actual address is 2502 N. Campbell Ave.. This is an unpaid commercial by the way, we just enjoyed sitting outside in the shade with our coffee there. I didn't take a photo of the place; but the following photo was taken not far from there.

Another building on the University Campus.

Getting ready to plant some more palm trees on the campus.





I didn't do a lot of price comparisons on groceries, etc. as a lot of the things that we bought are not found here. I did find it overwhelming that there is so much "stuff" available. Not only can you find products there; but you can find an enormous choice of each product. Here if we find peanut butter we buy it, regardless of what kind/size it is. Beggars can't be choosers. In the stores in Tucson there will be 100 brands, sizes, etc. (OK that is a bit of exaggeration; but you get my meaning). I think I was on overload, like a kid in a candystore.
I really enjoyed drinking some tomato juice which I cannot find here; but their Coca Cola tasted horrible we thought. We didn't do any cooking there as it was so hot, so I didn't check the price of meat; but did notice that you can buy shrimp there for cheaper than you can here right now.
We did go out and eat a greasy burger a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed them!
Loved the air conditioning on the city buses!
Loved the University Campus.
Didn't love the heat.
And that is that for Tucson.
