A trip to Tucson

 It was during the holiday season in December 2022 and what could be more fun than meeting the old college friends. Planned a humble trip to Tucson after the birthday parties in Phoenix, Tucson is a beautiful city with a lively downtown lined with lots of eateries and restaurants. For dinner stepped into a Mexican restaurant that had a cozy environment with live music. Since it was the holiday season, the roads are lit up with colorful and vibrant lights everywhere, of course, a good spot for selfie clicks.

Since it is a one-day trip to Tucson, we planned to keep it simple without stressing too much and added Colossal cave and Pima Air & space Museum. We planned for these two places one after breakfast and one after lunch. The combination of these two places is very interesting, in the Colossal Cave we can get mesmerized by nature on its natural formations and in the Pima Air Museum, we can witness the technological heights human has reached over time.

In the Colossal Cave, we can even enjoy playing music on the rocks, we can tap the rock with small wooden blocks and can hear beautiful music.

In a few aircraft even we can get inside a take-a-peek view of it, the museum also houses a few video games which all age groups can enjoy, a souvenir shop, and more. They have guided tours as well in tram vehicles every 30 mins or 1 hour which would be more informative as the guide will be explaining the history of each of the aircraft.

If looking for a nice Indian restaurant nearby then definitely Sher-e-Punjab is a place to try. It has a wide variety of options and has a very good Indian flavor of spices and masala
