Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 8 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we met the farmers of the insect world, leaf-cutter ants (a desert version to be specific). Today, we remain in the Arizona desert but find something a bit less…natural.
Back in mid-December I met my dad in Washington, DC, where my godparents live. A year ago, my godfather Tom was elected new president of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and it was finally time for his inaugural reception. I went to DC a few days ahead of the reception so I could get a bit of a break in too.
Last week, I went on an impromptu scuba trip to Cozumel, Mexico. I booked the flight (using miles!) just 5 days before I left Tucson and booked the hotel and scuba reservation 3 days before I left. I figured I’d take advantage of the extra time I have before I start teaching for the spring semester.
To the uninitiated, the 100-mile stretch of I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix seems barren. Locals, however, know about the array of attractions to be found along (or close to) this route, including Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, Picacho Peak State Park, and the subject of this post, the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch.
Hello everybody and welcome to Episode 4 of What’s in that Hole?, a new series I’m writing for my blog. In the last episode, we finally found a cuddly creature (kind of – we kind of found it and it was kind of cuddly). Today’s episode is a bit different though – it’s a man-made hole.
On a recent scuba trip to San Carlos, Mexico (on the Sea of Cortez), I noticed a plethora of jellyfish near the boat’s ladders after a dive. Since I found them so interesting, I decided to devote a separate post to my photos of the jellies.
Last weekend I went down to San Carlos, Mexico for a dive trip with my local dive shop, Planet Scuba. Read on for a summary of my trip!
