Hanging out at the condo

 Blog post #23

Here are some scenes from around the condo including the road runner we saw a few times.  The last day though I saw a lot of feathers and think this particular road runner my have met his maker.

Daniel's apartment (and our rental) are in the foothills of the Catalina mountains.  So beautiful!
Full moon in the desert!

Road runner...maybe Wile E Coyote got him?

Time to return home

 Blog post #26 Well as they say, "all good things must come to an end".  We were sad to leave, but we started back on the road on Wednesday Nov 29th.  Our route would take us to a couple of sites we still wanted to see.  One was Pistachioland in Alamogorda, New Mexico.  I saw this place  back in the summer  on a list of off-the-beaten-path sites in every state.  It's home to the World's Larges Pistachio (in case you were wondering where that was)  We didn't get to it the first time through NM, but made time for it on our return.   Had to have the homemade pistachio ice cream, even though I don't really like it. The other place we wanted to stop was Pawhuska, Oklahoma.  We saw the movie Killers of the Flower Moon when we were in Tucson with the kids.  It is a movie about the killings of Osage Native Americans who had become millionaires after oil was found on their land in the 1920's.  It was quite a devastating story...

Toby! Our little adventurer!

Image
 Blog post #28 Some photos of our fantastic Toby!  This could have been a very different trip had he not been such a cooperative little guy.  He's back home and back to his ways of sleeping most of the day after this great adventure!  What a trooper! The indespensible stroller!    He like when there were couches he could get up on! One of our best hikes with Toby at Hovenweep National Monument. He spent quite a bit of time in this car seat! He liked being up on the hotel beds...not to sleep though, we lugged the crate in each stay. Looking out over Canyon de Chelly At the condo in Oro Valley. In his raincoat on one of the rain days on the way home! At Bob's former house in Beaumont...wanted to go in!! Picked up this cat toy along the way from my sister's cats Rosie and Caesar! Back home in his usual perch on our couch!

Enjoying the sites and tastes of Charleston, South Carolina

Image
  Blog post #5 Charleston, SC is one of our favorite cities.  We love the architecture, art galleries, and most of all the food.  Toby managed well with all the walking, mainly because we borrowed a stroller for him!  It worked though; we were able to eat lunch outdoors while he sat in the stroller next to us!!!  We also found that he loves art.  Everytime we passed an art gallery, he wanted to go in.  And it's a very dog-friendly city, so they welcomed him in and even gave him treats. Grilled oysters Fried green tomatoes Shrimp & grits and jambalaya Question for my students :   What is the significance of Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor?
