Petroglyphs

We wanted to see some petroglyphs and also visit the Pima Air Museum. We learned that taking an Uber out of town is a lot easier than getting an Uber to get back. So we Ubered to a rental car company and drove ourselves. We planned to use an old car GPS but we were sort a critical part. So we fired up the smart phone map app. Danita held the phone and gave me advice while I heard the phone’s instructions though my hearing aids. It sounds rather confusing, but we quickly got navigation working pretty well. We saw plenty of petroglyphs. Here’s one that I think represents a goat, two sun bursts, and a wagon wheel.

My favorite is a very nice spiral. The Australian aboriginals used spirals in their ancient art, and still use them today. It is thought that ancient spirals represented water, which would be quite valuable in an arid climate such as exists in most of Australia and the Sonora Desert.

After lunch, we visited the Pima Air Museum. We saw more airplanes than we could count. Here’s an attractive plane that caught my eye.

I hope this finds everyone doing well.
