Tucson Desert Museum, Old Tucson ( movies set) and desert sunsets.






Today is the 24th Wed, so today we had to get the car fixed another flat battery, we are doing something wrong, Wal-Mart replace it but when we try to start it later in the day its dead again, could be the alternator, we take it to a mechanic in Tucson ,its not the alternator, thanks goodness for that, just something minor. We went to the Desert Museum and get photos of the animals native to the area, and some of the desert, which is totally covered with giant cacti, also have another look at minerals, at least the 3-4 time but they still amaze us, AMAZING colours and formations, the miners of old must have worked in a fairyland of colours in the mines.

 


The Sonora Desert, as you can see it contains many varieties of cacti
