Sabino Canyon

We spent the afternoon at Sabino Canyon hiking through the desert looking at incredible cacti...



...watching ground squirrels...



...and road runners (this one running on just one leg due to an injury)...



...finding WATER in the desert...



...and letting Son take pictures of his shadow.

We had dinner at El Charro Cafe, the oldest family-owned Mexican restaurant in Tuscon. Delicious!



The specialty of the house is carne seca, seasoned beef dried under the desert sun in metal cages on the roof.



Oh--and prickly pear margaritas. Yum!
