Arizona Winter Getaway 2007
We took a break from the British winter and headed to Tucson for a warm-up. Arnie and Linda hosted us at their new home in Tucson. A good time was had by all.
Meteor Crater
We took in some sites in Northern Arizona, this one being Meteor Crater near Flagstaff. A meteor struck this spot 50,000 years ago and buried itself 3000 feet below the Earth's surface.
Grand Canyon on a Grand Day
The weather really cooperated with our Grand Canyon tour. Although cool in the shade there was no wind and getting out in the sun was nice and warm.
Grand Canyon Vistas
We hiked all around the Grand Canyon but not down in it. We stayed overnight on the South Rim one night.
Pool Time in Tucson
We tried the pool several times at Swan Lake Estates. It was heated and always a comfortable 88 degrees.
