While the kids were at school Laura took us to a place called Agua Caliente. In the middle of the desert is a lush former hot spring circled by huge old palms. It is by far my favorite spot in Tucson. Of course, I didn’t bring my big girl camera, so these shots are the best I could do with my iPhone.

We were treated to our second delicious dinner of the visit at my Uncle Tom’s and Aunt Shari’s, and after the regret of not having my camera with me at the first dinner and also at Agua Caliente earlier that day, I brought it along this time. That living room of theirs has light to die for.

Please ignore the quality of some of the other photos - they are more for the memories than to ever be considered art.
