We left El Paso early Thursday morning, with no border trouble at all, for which I was profoundly grateful. When we arrived in Tucson, I finally found the least advertised National Park, Saguaro. (Pronounced Sah-wah-ro). Those are the typical cactus pictured for Mexico with a man sitting and leaning against it, with his sombrero pulled down over his face so he can sleep. That is totally unrealistic, because those cacti are much too thorny to be able to lean against! There are thousands of them covering hillsides and plains in the Park. Very interesting for maybe 1/2 hour, but the interest does not last for the 2 hours it takes to drive through the very rocky unpaved road at 15 to 20 mph! I was really wishing for my pickup for that segment of the journey.
We arrived at Dave's house in Peoria at about 5:30pm, and so began a new divine appointment.
More details in the next blog.
