Summer time, and the living is easy...

I did try to walk to the pool, but unfortunately it was closed. It was definitely a tease- beautiful facities, and a full pool behind big locked gates. Luckily, the friend I'll be moving in with for a short while in Seattle called, so at least I got to have a fun conversation on my way back.

Yesterday we went down town and hung out at the coffee shop "Epic". I really liked it best of all the shops we've been to in Tucson. I got a scrumptious sarsaparilla float, and read while my boyfriend worked on math homework for his PhD program. I grabbed a few used books, and I made it almost entirely through My Sister's Keeper yesterday. I finished it this morning.

Really good book. Completely different ending than the movie (how are they allowed to make a movie after a book and change the ending?). A quick read too. It's 400 or so pages, but it flows really well, and is easy to follow. Now I definitely want to see the full movie as well. As a scientist, I think the more we do as people to question bioethics, the better. Just because we can do something does not necessarily mean we should. I feel like this is going to be the big issue in about ten years, when I feel the technology for more "designer" babies will be available.

After the coffee shop we went to an Indian restaurant called "Ghandi," which I thought was a bad sign, but I really enjoyed my food, and I got a ton for $7.

After a very lazy morning we are now getting ready to go to Sabino Canyon. It's considered a must do for Tucson, and I am pretty excited to go. I will try to grab a bunch of photos and make my next blog a bunch of photos from around Tucson.
