Five members and two friends of the British Club enjoyed a wonderful organized tour of Tohono Chul Cactus Gardens and a delicious lunch at the Bistro on May 17. It was all very interesting learning about the delightful desert plants and animals. We even spotted a rattle snake and gecko along the way.
We were pleasantly surprised by a pair of cardinals (male and female) perched in a tree nearby while we lunched in the Bistro. It was one of those rare perfect pictures!
We all agreed it was a very pleasant way to spend the morning and lunch together.
Everyone thanked Susan Biestek for organizing this fun event.
