My plan today was to reach El Paso, Texas. Leaving Scottsdale I stopped in Mesa\/Phoenix and I bought a Wide Angle Zoom lens for my Nikon D80. I saved around 150 Euro buying the lens in USA.\u00a0 I continued my trip from Scottdale towards Tucson where I had planed to visit the Saguaro N.P, \u00a0and the San Xavier Le Bac Mission. Saguaros are the cactuses I like most of all.\u00a0\u00a0ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/p>\n

ngg_shortcode_1_placeholder In 2001 I \u00a0had visited\u00a0the San Xavier Le Bac Mission and I wanted to see it again for some nice photos.\u00a0 Unfortunately the mission was in construction and half of it was covered by a construction canvas. So I continued my trip, knowing that it was still more than 4 h drive to El Paso. Last spot I visited in Tucson was a big airplane cemetary near the PIMA air museum.<\/p>\n

ngg_shortcode_2_placeholderOn my way eastwards I stopped in Tombstone, which is around 1 1\/2 hours drive time from Tucson. I made a short stop in Tombstone, strolling around in the main street.<\/p>\n

ngg_shortcode_3_placeholder Further 3 hours later, late in the evening I arrived in El Paso, TX. I was so tired from driving (560 miles today) that I took the first Hotel I found: The Camino Real in downtown, near the border bridges. This photo is a view over El Paso towards Juarez from my Hotel Room.<\/p>\n
