Had a super time at the Rodeo parade today, though we got up at 6:45 AM to go to a local mall and catch a shuttle bus to the Grandstand area. Didn't have to be there that early, but as it was a lovely day it worked out perfectly anyway. Nadia and Walter S joined us in the grandstands, they had walked from their hotel.
Enjoyed the 2 hour parade with them, saw horses, miniature horses, ponies, mules, buggies, carriages, a Mexican mariachi band, a huge barbershop group, Tucson local High School marching bands, Mexican riders in huge skirts, floats, politicians and local interest groups, it was ll so neat. No engines, just horse power in the truest sense of the meaning. No disasters that we saw either, just good wholesome fun in the warm Arizona morning.
Afterwards back on the shuttle buses to the same mall for drop off. Very convenient.
We then went to Best Buy and bought our first GPS. The 'goddess' will take over the navigating for us, hope it is handy. Some things like arriving in a new town and finding the nearest food shop/ gas station/restaurant are a great idea.
We continue to find Tucson very intersting and very easy to get around in ourselves, having been here 5 years ago for a month staying out in the same southeast area of Tucson is also a big plus. Being married to a navigator is the best of all. Yeah team.
Home around 1:30 or so, we searched for a hairdresser for Di, I desperately need a haircut, and will go tomorrow when the girl I was recommended to is working. It's one of those walk in type of places, but apparently you can phone ahead and see how their day is going, for a kind of appt. Hmmmmmm. It's called Cost Cutters.
Now it's nearly 5:00 and you know what that means, HAPPY HOUR. Jose Cuervos and I will get together, not sure who Lary will be joining. Ole.
