Puerto Penasco
Sonora Mexico


We decided the Gunship needed to roll, I needed to practice my Spanish, and Miss Sciency needed to stare at some rocks.
So we headed on down to the Sea of Cortez in Sonora to take a look around.
Ensconced ourselves in a fine fine superfine hotel right on the beach where we could aprovechar el ambiente.
That’s what we’ve been doing for the last couple of days.

Puerto Penasco, Sonora

Pufferfish. Locally called Butete



The fishery is shrimp. Lots and lots of shrimp

Feb 5,2020 Tucson and Environs Mostly digging the Southwest ambiente of Tucson. Bought a bike at a pawn shop and started riding it around the bike path Loop. 100 miles of bike path around Tucson... Lots of fun. Eating a lot of tacos and what not Plenty of food trucks on “La Strip” (my name for 22 Street area Southeast of City center). However the absolute Mecca for great Mexican food turned out to be the Tono O’odham Native American Swap meet. It was like a junk store bazaar with plenty of great eats. We’ve hit a trail here and there. Some local parks in the city. Even made a return to Madera Canyon for a nice hike. All in all Tucson is quite nice. Here’s some photos. Went to Nogales to get my teeth done. Even had a few tacos Cienega Creek Trail South of Tucson Taco De Cabeza Miss Sciency laying into a Costilla de res at the Swap meet Local Color Definitely be on the lookout for this bus on  22nd street Acorn Woodpecker laying hell on a phone pole Fresh squeezed...
