homeward bound

and it's been a great trip.  lots of pictures, hopefully some in focus, but the camera is in the car.  long days - next trip, i need to plan what i want to do better, and allow more time for the drive.  today i got into tucson in time to do a quick pass through the arizona desert museum - don't know why they call it a museum, it's more a natural history exhibit - native plants and animals, in pretty much their natural environment (ok, the enclosures for the animals aren't quite natural, but they look good).  the plants are certainly natural - it looks just like the surrounding saguero national park.  trying to decide if i have time to go back for a bit tomorrow am....although considering i spent 45 min driving around trying to get to a hotel i could see, but apparently not actually get to, has rather soured me on another pass through tucson.  and tomorrow night i will be home....getting a little impatient for that.
