Change of Scenery - Tucson, Arizona, May 1 - May 7, 2018

I'm soaking in the beauty in Arizona with Li-Lin and Dr. Kao - tucking Dr. Kao's walker in the car and pushing him slowly to let him enjoy the natural beauty in Arizona.  I'm younger and tougher comparing to his physical disability. 

Dr. and Mrs. Kao were my benefactors during the time when I did not know where to get my lodging in 1974, my first job after graduate school, teaching at Campbell County Public School, Lynchburg, VA.  I am grateful for what they did for me.

I'm also the beneficiaries of Arizona's Teacher Strike this week.  Li-Lin, an IT teacher for Pima County public school teachers was off and was able to take her father, Dr. Kao and me to visit the National Parks (Saguaro, Sabino Canyon, Mission San Xavier.... etc.  Mrs. Kao prefers to stay home cooking Ba-Zon (sticky rice wrap) due to her walking difficulties.  I'm the lucky one - Thanks Arizona!

Enjoy the outing pictures.
