Storming Arizona

That's what we did. Yup. The ragingest spring break ever undertaken by three women. Who never bathed, wore the same sweaty clothes every day, went to bed at 7:30pm every night and slept for about 12 hours. Except me, because I was busy finding creative ways to rid my skull of assorted forms of mucus (head cold/sinus infection. which has since re-homed in my chest. again.), so I "slept" in the car where gravity could help...
Oh drama drama. It was an amazing trip - I can't imagine how much fun it would have been if I were healthy! As it was, we fit in the following:

• Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
• Sycamore Canyon (Nogales)
  
• Chiricahua National Monument
• Chiricahua State Forest (Coronado State Forest?)
• Saguaro National Park
• Sunshine. Hail. Big moon. Tortillas. Ice cream. Red raspberry Panda licorice. Staggering quantities of Irish Oatmeal. Obscene banana/tortilla/peanut butter/honey lunches. Rescuing lost children. 2 feet of snow. 9,500ft elev. ~10mi/day hiking. Not witnessing a single sunset. Buddha disguised as the world's fattest prairie dog. A profound and perhaps nearly troubling obsession with skorts.

Heather and Megan were outrageously patient with sickly me (at one point, I said the only thing I wanted was permission to complain once an hour. And even skipped a few hours). And, cross fingers, I don't think they got sick. Below are an assortment of pics. Will add more as I get them. I am exhausted but happy, and only wish we could have at least a week for spring-break recovery before classes start on Monday (and maybe I'll throw and extra wish in there - to get my voice back in time for lecture....)
