Woke up early on this birthday morning, and went back to sleep, lol.

We had breakfast just after 6 and headed out once again to a spot suggested by Douglas. It was basically on the other side of the Saguaro National Park from yesterday and had petroglyphs inscribed on the rock face, very interesting. From there we popped around to his house to pick up the 600+ virtual puppies we had left with him the day before, and after a chat we headed off again to another suggested munzee spot. This was in an area where housing will be built, but currently is just roads, fences and open land. So we walked. When we had had enough there, we went back to the petroglyph place as Douglas had put out a virtual resort and we needed a room each, LOL. Back to our room for a quick sandwich and then we walked out to the bridge over the Santa Cruz River that was closest to the motel, munzeeing all the way there and back. Shower and change and we went out to dinner at 5. The Texas Steakhouse had a 25 minute wait for a table so we moved on to the Cracker Barrel, which had a 10 minute wait (well 20!) But they have a shop attached, so we browsed and bought and then they called us in for dinner. I had catfish and Maria had crumbed shrimp. Very nice meal. We have noticed that horseradish is a common ingredient in things like sauces (tomato+horseradish) and we had bought some horseradish cheddar cheese, which is very nice as well. From there we drove over to the University of Arizona, just outside Tucson and did some virtual munzees. Douglas had suggested we go on Saturday as the parking would be much easier, but as we want to leave early tomorrow, we decided on an after dinner trip. Boy, were we pleased we did. There were marquees and tents lining the roads inside the university grounds, as this weekend they are having a Book Fair, apparently it’s one of the largest held. So if we had gone tomorrow, we wouldn’t have found any street parking or been able to move!!! As it was it was a pleasant warm evening and easy walking.

BTW Maria took the sunset picture from the car as I was doing 60 mph along the freeway! Well done Maria.

As we have a long drive tomorrow, I won’t be writing an entry, but will catch you up the next night!
