You can't return to the same city twice

Jan 17: We arrived in Tucson after dark and after a long hard drive. There were high winds and a lot of traffic. I drove most of the way. We got up early and found the laundermat. Helen exercised while I washed clothes. We found out that this park is a "seniors only" park. There are lots of rules concerning children and pets. Neither are liked very much. We took the RV to Mesa RV a few miles closer to Tucson in order to get the radio replaced. We were noticed by a salesman when Helen was looking at diesel RV and we promised to return later in the day. We drove to Tucson looking for the old and funky part of town that we remembered from our visit ten years ago. It is all gone. We found vacant buildings, empty lots and new offices.
When we returned to Mesa RV to pick up our rig Ray, the salesman, saw us and began the sales process. "Have you ever driven a diesel", he asked. I had not so he got another salesman to take us out for a test ride. It was great. The air bags prevented us from feeling the un-even road and the acceleration was great. But the damn thing cost $200,000.
We were there until 6:30 as they tried to give us their "best deal". We said no and finally went home. We had a late supper and then to bed.
We decided not to get a new RV or the CB radio. Today will be about relaxing and doing some work.
