Last weekend, Drew and I hosted our second set of visitors to our Tucson abode (the first set was Mary & Dan in August)...my dad and Greg! We had a very relaxing weekend exploring Tucson. On Friday night, we tried a new restaurant, Cafe Poca Cosa, which was delicious with massive plates of food. It is kind of like a "gourmet" Mexican restaurant. The chef changes the menu every day and uses every type of pepper known to the world in her cooking. Drew and I both had the chef's plate which was a sample of a few of the items on the menu. It was very yummy!
On Saturday, we explored the art galleries around Tucson, and stopped off at Home Depot where my dad could share his gardening/planting expertise to help us add some green to otherwise drab backyard. He also helped us figure out how the irrigation system works so that the plants will stay green with minimal work and worry from me (a known black thumb--that's right, worse than brown--I have a horrible track record). I now have a little herb garden outside of my kitchen, and a variety of other plants throughout the backyard.
On Sunday, we all went hiking in Sabino Canyon where we could check out the desert life and cool desert plants. We didn't see any wildlife, but the location did make for some pretty cool photos. Check them out!
