Our only activity today was the Desert museum. It’s a huge facility, and we spent over four hours there. They have a zoo-like display of animals, but also much more. Over 100 volunteers keep the place humming. If you visit enough zoos, you will find a show of birds flying out in the open. We’ve attended several such shoes. But the show at the Desert museum was the best ever. Everybody stood on the trail. There were hand-hold bars to help visitors turn and look while the birds flew just inches over our heads. I can’t find words to describe what it’s like to witness a raptor fly directly at me just a few inches over my head.

The down side of the day was that transportation got quite confused. I won’t try to offer a detailed account, mostly because it’s boring for you-all. I’ll just say that Uber transportation can be somewhat less than perfect.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
