Dave heard coyotes during the night, although I slept through it all!
We had our usual fix of humming birds while supping coffee or tea, and the two Daves cycled again (every day so far) while Lynda and I exercised at home.
The rain was so heavy yesterday that all of the terrace furniture was soaking but soon dried out in the strong sun.
We decided to spend the majority of the day at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. The Sonoran Desert covers a large part of south west U.S.A. and north west Mexico amend has very distinctive flora and fauna. The "museum" is not a "normal" museum, but more of an open air zoo of large extent and is dedicated to protecting native plants and animals.
There are over three hundred species of wildlife and thirteen hundred varieties of native plants.
One of the goals is to inspire people who visit to practise more conservation themselves. This was in evidence when we visited the raptors in flight. Beautiful.
In fact, the whole day was a WOW day.
On the way back to Oro Valley, we stopped off at Signal Hill in Saguaro National Park to see the petroglyphs of the Hohokam people made over one thousand years ago.
While there, we drooled over another wonderful sunset.
