Places to see in ( Tucson - USA )
Tucson is the second-largest city in the state of Arizona, in the United States of America. At an elevation of 2,400 feet, it has slightly cooler temperatures than its desert cousin, Phoenix. It is situated in the biologically diverse Sonoran Desert. With a population of 486,699 (2000 Census) in Tucson and 843,746 in the greater metro area, which also includes Marana, Oro Valley, Green Valley, Sahuarita, Drexel Heights, Vail, South Tucson.
Tucson has always been a crossroads. Until recently, water was relatively plentiful in Tucson, in spite of its location in the middle of a desert. This made it an important travel route, an agricultural center, and a communications nexus. Tucson's history is ancient, with evidence of human occupation stretching back 10,000 years. Between A.D. 200 and 1450, the Hohokam culture dominated the area -- the Pima and Tohono O'Odham peoples that still occupy the area are descendants of the Hohokam. In 1699, Father Eusebio Kino, S.J., established the Mission San Xavier del Bac, southwest of present-day Tucson. Over the next 100 years, other missions were established in the area, but European presence was minimal.
It wasn't until 1775 that the Presidio of Tucson was created by Don Hugo O'Connor. At that time, it was the northernmost Spanish outpost in the New World. In 1821, Tucson became part of the new country of Mexico, and in 1853 it became part of the United States as a result of the Gadsden Purchase. In 1863, Arizona became a US territory, and by 1880, its population was around 8,000. In 1912, Arizona became the 48th state to enter the union. Today, Tucson is still a crossroads, with European, Native American, Mexican, and Asian cultures bumping into one another, in sometimes conflicting and sometimes compatible -- but always interesting -- ways.
A college town with a long history, Tucson (too-sawn) is attractive, fun-loving and one of the most culturally invigorating places in the Southwest. Set in a flat valley hemmed in by snaggletoothed mountains and swaths of saguaro, Arizona's second-largest city smoothly blends American Indian, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo traditions. Distinct neighborhoods and 19th-century buildings give a rich sense of community and history not found in the more modern, sprawling Phoenix. The eclectic shops toting vintage garb, scores of funky restaurants and dive bars don't let you forget Tucson is a college town at heart, home turf to the 40,000-strong University of Arizona (UA).

VOYAGER RV CAMPGROUND REVIEW, TUCSON, AZ
Voyager RV Resort near Tucson is a very neat park, one of the fancy ones. Even if you're a member of Thousand Trails, it will still cost you 20 dollars per night, and I can see why. Also, there's an age limit, it's a 55+ park, but they don't mind younger people, even with children, however, for no longer than 2 weeks stay. Also the children are required to follow the pool hours and are not allowed in whirlpools, but kids' friendly hours are quite reasonable.
There are so many activities in the park! A big library, lots of crafts rooms, even a wood shop. A big gym, three pools, lots of groups and activities, tennis courts, etc. Also a proper restaurant and a store on property. We really enjoyed our stay there.

Important errand with the Airstream in Tucson
We couldn't camp in Saguaro National Park, but we stayed in Gilbert Ray, a beautiful campground just outside the park. In Tucson we visit the childrens museum and we discovered Mercado San Agustin, an outdoor Mexican market with artisan restaurant, taqueria, bakery, coffee shop. It was so good that Papa even takes the Airstream into the city and finds a parking lot so that he can enjoy a second visit.

MotoVlog 25 - 'El Presidio' - Royal Enfield
A quick visit to the historic neighborhood in downtown Tucson, AZ on my Royal Enfield.
Some facts to follow along with:
-The El Presidio de Tucson was founded by Hugo O'Conner - An Irish soldier hired by the Spanish to settle the territory.
-El Presidio (Tucson) was founded in 1775.
-Tucson was derived from a local indian village called 'S-cuk son'.
-El Presidio walls were more than 4ft thick in some places.
-El Presidio's wall was torn down my Mormon soldiers after the Gadsden Treaty was signed, however the site I went to in this video is where one of the garrison towers once stood.
Still playing with camera settings, no Thunder Trap this time out since I had so much to say B-)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tucson () is a city and the county seat of Pima County, Arizona, United States, and home to the University of Arizona. The 2010 United States Census put the population at 520,116, while the 2015 estimated population of the entire Tucson metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was 980,263. The Tucson MSA forms part of the larger Tucson-Nogales combined statistical area (CSA), with a total population of 1,010,025 as of the 2010 Census. Tucson is the second-largest populated city in Arizona behind Phoenix, both of which anchor the Arizona Sun Corridor. The city is 108 miles (174 km) southeast of Phoenix and 60 mi (97 km) north of the U.S.–Mexico border. Tucson is the 33rd largest city and the 58th largest metropolitan area in the United States (2014).
Major incorporated suburbs of Tucson include Oro Valley and Marana northwest of the city, Sahuarita south of the city, and South Tucson in an enclave south of downtown. Communities in the vicinity of Tucson (some within or overlapping the city limits) include Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells, Midvale Park, Tanque Verde, Tortolita, and Vail. Towns outside the Tucson metro area include Benson to the southeast, Catalina and Oracle to the north, and Green Valley to the south.
The Spanish name of the city, Tucsón [tukˈson], is derived from the O'odham Cuk Ṣon [tʃʊk ʂɔːn], meaning (at the) base of the black [hill], a reference to a basalt-covered hill now known as Sentinel Peak. Tucson is sometimes referred to as The Old Pueblo.
