Buenos Noches, Amigos. Hasta Manana

Nightfall in Tucson Estates II, on the western flank of the Tucson MountainsBack in the early 1960s, my parents could have picked a South American country where Spanish was the national language. 

It would have stood me in good stead here in Tucson, sixty miles from the Mexican border.

Instead, they chose to move us, kit and caboodle, to the only country on that great continent where Dutch is spoken.

Goede nacht, vrienden.  See?  It doesn't do much for me here in Tucson. 

If you've never visited this corner of the country, put it on your list of things you must do before you croak. 

Tucson is magic.  Look at that night sky!  There's no place on earth like Tucson, Arizona. 

It's utterly captivating.

Mike, You are right. I took several pictures of the night sky during one of my trips to AZ. I am saving my $$ to make another trip most likely in Jan of next year. Want to go to the Tucson area for a few days...

Mike,

It is amazing where the dutch have settled over the years. They are a hardy group of folk...

"kit and caboodle" I love that phrase and as far Tuscon, I do like the desert in small doses, it's beautiful in a stark way! I have also been to Holland where Dutch is spoken and thought it was remarkably beautiful too! Best of the week to you!

Russell,

Tulips are what come to mind when I think of the Dutch.  Those, and blue and white china.

Paul,

They sure are!

Don,

Thanks for stopping by to say so!

Susie,

I'm something of a night owl.

Michael,

Call before you come.

Lenn,

I look forward to seeing it!

Robert,

Thanks for being the first to comment.  It's a friendly salute.  :)

Mike,

I keep repeating "we find what we seek" you may be my best example. The beauty of the lone sequoia in the dark night sky evades so many. I like the dog in the window, too! Little things that make you smile make the day go so much better,

Thanks!

Mike--I agree with you...Of all the places I visited traveling there was something about Tucson that sticks with me. I can't capture the memory in words but the place was beautiful!
