I might have been a little rash about deserts

We have arrived at Saguaro National Park in the Sonora Desert. It is really quite different than the Chihuahuan Desert. It has these huge armed cacti, the Saguaro (pronounced sah-wah-roh we found out) and some other new cacti like the chained fruit and the teddy bear cactus. It is very different in appearance and we are enjoying exploring it. We hiked Sunday in the West part of the park and have seen a new cool bird, the Phainopepla and our hike took us past an old mine. They are scattered all around these hills. Sunrises and sunsets have been beautiful. We are planning to go to the East section on Wednesday. In between, there is a highly touted Desert Wildlife Museum we are going to check out.
