Well. Arizona has improved considerably in these last few months =]
The city is still gross, but we go camping almost every week now.
This past weekend, we went a couple hours south to a particuarly lush piece of the desert, some 40 miles from the border. There was a sign upon entering that read: Caution. Smuggling and illegal immigation encountered in this area.
Indeed, once we biked out a bit, we spotted things that are commonly seen where immigrant traffick is. Empty water jugs were scattered and hidden in bushes. Almost all of them had bits of cloth tied to them with some markings on them. We didn't get to meet anyone, though. Maybe next time. People from around that area told us that the most they do is ask for water and then get on their way.
Things have been going well except for a couple minute things. Someone did steal my bike rack, but, due to being possibly fucking retarded, they didn't take the piece that actually mounts it to the bike. Also, my college text for Spanish has been misisng for a few months aswell.
