Tucson, AZ

One of the most exciting things about moving to Tucson is the almost unlimited list of things to do. And if you moved to the desert from Florida like I did, they are all new and exciting.

For one of my first sightseeing treks, I chose the Saguaro National Park — formerly known as the Saguaro National Monument — which is really one park divided into two distinct districts.

One of the cool things about moving into a new house is that you have a great excuse to shop for new furniture, art and other stuff you just simply like. A neighbor suggested I go to Tucson’s Lost Barrio area. Glancing at my Miata, she also suggested I borrow her husband’s pickup truck. “You can’t tell what you will find that you can’t live without, or get home.” she said.

So off to Tucson in my borrowed F-150 pickup in search of the “Lost Barrio.” It turns out that the “Lost Barrio” isn’t really lost; it is just hard to find! This eclectic collection of culturally diverse shops is located on South Park Avenue just south of East Broadway Boulevard. Read the rest of WoW!
