Hi
We arrived in Tucson, AZ. Weather has been beautiful. We are supposed to get some rain tomorrow. They could use rain here. It is really dry. Before we arrived in Arizona, we went from Las Cruces, New Mexico to Truth and Consequences, New Mexico for a few days. Skip and I enjoyed Las Cruces and their old town called La Mesilla.

 Skip and I wanted to go on the tour to Spaceport America, which is located about 30 miles outside Truth and Consequences. This is where Richard Branson and his Virgin Galactic are planning on flights to take people up into space for a mere $200,000.00 per ticket.

Our tour guide told us at least 550 have signed up. 
This was a great tour. You can read all about it by checking out Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic on the internet.
