Tucson

We got a ride to Tucson with all our stuff (unfortunately my camera went back to Davis in the car so you'll have to wait for pictures) and we're staying with Melissa, a friend of Andy's. Tucson is a neat city built in the desert - not many lawns. The architecture is decidedly southwestern and there is art everywhere: murals, public art, bike art, graffiti, galleries, etc... Rockin bike culture - we went to bicas, a cooperative run bike community center 12 years strong, many bike shops, 4th ave has trashbins and bike racks made of recycled bike parts, and there are lots of xtracycles around. We'll be here about a week, dialing in our bikes, doing some volunteering and "team building"
