Spending a little time in ATX giving our house some much needed attention. Enjoying Texas in springtime. Just found out this guy in the first photo is a 20 minute walk from our house. Our neighbors are growing bluebonnets (the state flower) in their front yards and painting murals on their garages. You can buy deer corn at the local grocery store too. Austin is a fun town.

The best way to see Zion? With a bike! They have free shuttles that will take you to different stops in the park, and I have to admit it is pretty cool as you don't need a ticket, a reservation or anything. Still, the lines can get long. And no one can deny the feeling of freedom being on a bike in the middle of those crazy, beautiful canyons. But what do you do if a driveway feels like a mountain stage in the Tour de France? (yes, that is me..) Rent yourself an ebike. So worth it! And always wear a helmet.

The narrows in Zion. Truly majestic.

Standing tall in the Sonoran Desert, the Saguaro cactus is a true icon of Southwest. These giants live for about 150-200 years and reach heights of up to 40-60 feet. They grow at an unbelievably slow rate, and it takes about 50-100 years to develop its first arm. Some never grow arms, and others can grow up to 50!

These sweet, peaceful guys can only be found in the Sonoran Desert, primarily in Arizona and Mexico. To me, they each have their own personalities, some are kinda stoic, some are playful, and some look like they are giving directions.

I never get tired of seeing them and sometimes, just gotta pull over and take a bunch of pictures. My phone is full of these guys! You can find them everywhere by simply driving in southwest Arizona or northwest Mexico, but you might be interested in visiting the Saguaro - National Park near Tucson. See this site to organize your visit. https://www.nps.gov/sagu/

Shifting gears from Italy - to Hawaii. This is a view of Waikiki Beach. It is a super touristy part of Hawaii, but to me, it is striking, beautiful, and fun. Some of the beach is man-made due to erosion problems that started in the late 1800s because of developments in the area. Which, by the way, just like Sardegna - it is illegal to take sand from the beaches in Hawaii. 🌴
