Settling In, In Tucson

Well, we have been here a few days now and are starting to find our way around on the bus system. I have to say that the bus system here is nice. The buses are air conditioned and clean, the drivers are friendly and helpful.
On Tuesday morning, our homeowner gave us a ride to the University and showed us where the library was. We used the computers and then caught a bus back to within about 6 blocks of the house.
Wednesday we found the grocery store and bought some supplies after going to a coffee shop for our morning coffee.
Yesterday, after our coffee and a chat with the owners of the coffee shop who are friendly people who moved here from Alaska, we decided that we would try and find a store to do our shopping at. We walked down to a different street and hopped on a bus. Unfortunately, the driver gave us some wrong information and we exited the bus too soon. We walked on to the next stop and asked some people for directions. Too make a long story short we did arrive at a store and managed to get our shopping done. The trip back home was uneventful as we now knew where we were going. The people here are friendly and helpful which is nice.
We vegged out for the afternoon, before taking the dog for his walk in the evening. He is doing well and just being a dog. So no problems.
After having our coffee this morning we caught the bus to the University and are at the library once again to do our 'puter stuff.
Here are some pictures from the last few days.
This is the Tufesa bus we came here on.

At one of the University buildings, I think it was the chemistry building.
