 Funny looking Saguaro

 Looking at a bee

 This place is hilarious. We really wanted to tour in but it cost $20. It was super secretive, they had piled up a ton of dirt so you couldn't even see the thing unless you paid and they had cameras everywhere. If you don't know the story, check it out: http://www.mindfully.org/Technology/2005/Biosphere-2-No-Future20feb05.htm. It involves a character named Johnny Dolphin.

 View from the Apache Trail, a beautiful road (visit apachetrail.net to learn more)

 This tunnel through the rock was carved over thousands of years of flowing water during the rainy season.It was on a hike we took outside of Phoenix.

Pretty cool, eh?
There was also tons of rock art all over!

 We saw lots of beautiful sunsets.

Returning from snorkeling off the coast of Ponce 

Last March, David and I joined some friends from Earlham in Puerto Rico. We had lots of fun swimming, hiking, exploring San Juan and just hanging out with pals.
