Hi Mom!
Kristee had another surprise for Clover and I...POSTCARDS! She wanted each of us to write to you and Melodee to let you know we got here safely!
"I know exactly what to say!"
Once we finished writing our postcards, we went out to the mailbox to drop them off.
Tomorrow Kristee is hoping to take us on a bike ride around her side of town! Let's hope it doesn't get too hot (the high is only supposed to be 99°F)!
I miss you!

Hi Mom!
Sorry it's been so long since the last update, Kristee's been busy with work and errands and such.
Today we worked the election polls here in Tucson. Kristee was the ID Clerk--she'd check the identification of the people coming in to vote and check them off on her list. Since it was just the primaries, it wasn't that busy. We were open from 6:00am-7:00pm and we only had 16 voters come in the whole day! Needless to say, the workers were extremely bored.
Even though I didn't vote (I'm not registered here in Arizona), Kristee was still able to get me an "I Voted" sticker!
Kristee's friend Nathan is coming to visit Thursday, so we're probably going to go with her to pick him up at the airport!
I miss you!

Hi Mom!
Today Kristee, Clover and I went to go walk around on 4th Avenue!
According to Wikipedia:
“Fourth Avenue, located near the University of Arizona, is home to many shops, restaurants, and bars, and hosts the annual 4th Avenue Street Fair every December and March.”
According to Kristee:
”Fourth Avenue is (pretty much) home to the artsy community of Tucson.”
Kristee decided to show us some cool tree stumps first. They'd been painted and carved into cool little statues!
Then we decided to go look in some of the shops. In Creative Ventures Craft Mall I got to look at all sorts of things created by over 100 local artists. Here you can see me with some Mexican art and pottery!
Then we walked by How Sweet It Was, one of the many thrift stores along 4th Avenue. I wanted to see if there was anything cool in the bargain bin out front, but all the clothes were too big for me!
Then we went to one of Kristee's favorite stores on 4th Avenue--Antigone Books! Kristee loves to come here to look at all the different books and buy some postcards for Postcrossing.
She also showed us the coolest looking building on 4th Avenue, the Hippie Gypsy!
We kept walking around looking in other thrift stores after that. Kristee had wanted us to be able to take the Old Pueblo Trolley back up Fourth Avenue, but it never showed up! We were pretty disappointed, but we still ended up having a good time today!
Tomorrow we're going to be leaving to go visit our next host, Gwenyth, in Arkansas! Should be fun!
I miss you!
