Wolvie's Goodbye Dinner
Wolvie has enjoyed his time in Arizona despite the colder and wetter
than normal conditions. He was sure glad he took in the sun poolside
when he did! Who can visit the southwest and not get a good steak
dinner? Wolvie was sent off well fed after a hearty meal at Hifalutin'
Western Grill in Tucson. Christine and Denise of the Tucson Roadrunners
braved the chilly wind to wish him the best on his way to Alabama and
the care of the Steel Magnolias.

Below is link to pics for Wolvies adventures in Arizona etc.
We have been able to take Wolvie on the monthly ride (photos 1752
entering tank bag, 1753 in tank bag)(1st Sunday of every month so this
month it was Dec. 2). We were just going to go to a nearby town
Suaharita for Vietnamese food (photo 1754), but ended up going all the
way down and into Mexico for Wolvie's cultural enrichment(1755 waking
up in Nogales, Mexico! and 1756 What does Iron Butt mean?!). For
Wolvie's first trip south of the border a Donkey photo was in order
(no. 1757) as was a sip of taquilla with fellow bikers (there to donate
toys to children)..and a little salt and lime (1762). Wolvie had a blast
doing the tourist thing. He even considered buying some fine Mexican
pottery (no. 1765) before he realized we had no saddle bags on this
trip. On the return trip to Tucson we stopped off at Tumacacori Mission
(no. 1768) which is a national historical site. Wolvie confided in us
that he loves national historical sites and parks very much. But as
much as he loves parks he loves to ride! and he reminded us if stayed
too long anywhere that quote
(photo no. 1769). At one point Wolvie was pretty sure he could take off
on his own if he wanted to (no. 1770).
Rather tired from the long trip to Tucson and the full day of riding and
sunshine, Wolvie did not have much energy left to fend of the local
wildlife (no. 1772), though some of the wild ones can become fast
friends (no. 1786).
The next day all Wolvie could do was try to rest and try to see why
everyone was so adament about how Tucson was such a nice place to live.
He was by the pool sipping fruit juice all afternoon! (no. 1795).
After a day of rest and maybe a bit too much sun at one go, Wolvie was
invited on an impromptu ride to the San Xavier Mission just south of
Tucson on the Tohono O'odham Nation (no. 1799). Wolvie really was taken
away with the serenity of the sanctuary (no. 1802 with the virgin Mary)
and (no. 1803 with St. Antonio).
To cap off the day we stopped by a Victory Motorcycle Dealership to
scope out the very new age looking Victory Vision, but it was a much
smaller item that caught his Michigan eye: a maze and blue beauty (no.
1804).
And for kicks Wolvie sat on the back to get an idea of what riding
pinion is all about (no. 1806). He said that for sure the tank bag seat
had a much better view!
I will send the photos numbered here in the next series of emails only
3-4 at a time so each email is not too large.
Having a good time with this,

Wolvie made it to Arizona!!
I have made it to Arizona and Tucson is soooo nice! The Tucson
Roadrunners have treated me well so far. Despite my jet lag, I found
the energy to go on the monthly ride today and it included a trip to
Mexico! I was taking a nap a little bit ago, but I was fading in and
out and I think I overheard them talking about taking me many more
places like a famous mission, riding in a huge toy ride in town, and
something about going for a dip in the pool. I am having my new friends
here send some photos to the blog. I am in good hands though you forgot
my passport, so I have had to apply for one here. I hope it doesn't
cause any trouble that I had to be smuggled back over the border today.
From the land of sun and fun,
Wolvie
