Phoenix/Tucson

In Tucson, we visited our friends Lee and Jenny. We also visited BioSphere 2, which was almost as nice as Lee and Jenny's home.

Inside BioSphere 2 we took a tour that was guided by an older gentleman who's delivery was similar to that of a Baptist Preacher. At the end of every sentence he made a little emphasis on the last consonant. Think of a mix between Robert Duvall in The Apostle and James Hetfield of Metallica.

BioSphere 2 is an interesting mix of cutting edge bio-technology and embarassing techno-flops. I mean, did they really thing they could fit the world's entire ecosystem inside a glass bubble in the middle of the desert? That said, it was all interesting and well worth a visit.



This is the Caribbean Sea.



Here are Lee and Jenny the day we went to In and Out Burger - the best fast food establishment ever. Here Lee attempts to taste a chocolate shake and a Half and Half shake simultaneously. We admire his bravery.



And on the 18th of June, we saw Tom Waits at the Orpheum theater in Phoenix. It was a great show. Here's the setlist:
