505.Golden City (4/5)
Tucson is Arizona's second-largest city, located in the Sonoran Desert, filled with rolling sand dunes and clusters of cacti. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Li Du came once to sell old photographic materials to a history professor at the University of Arizona.
The last time I came was spring, and now it's autumn, two different seasons, two different landscapes.
Today, Tucson's environment is radiant and full of heart-warming golden yellows.
When they arrived in the city, it was already afternoon, and the sun in the southwest of the United States was more enjoyable than Phoenix, and it was strange and beautiful to watch the sand dunes illuminate golden yellow, but when they got out of the car, the heat wave was not pleasant.
Take I-10 to the east side of exit 258 and you'll find downtown Tucson.
Hans instructed Oo, "Go northeast, man, just drive a kilometer, and that's the campus of the University of Arizona, where we'll eat dinner and stay there." ā
Da Ao looked at Li Du: "Boss, do you want to go to the warehouse tonight?"
Li Du yawned and said, "No, I'm too tired, let's rest tonight, and we'll talk about the warehouse tomorrow, there's still time." ā
Trucks pull onto 4th-Ave Road, the main street of the university town, with lots of small restaurants, bars and interesting shops.
College students are either in pairs or groups of threes or fives, walking on the street, Li Du can feel their youth through the car window.
"It's enviable, these young people. ā
Hans looked at him and said, "Hey, man, are you here to provoke me?" as if you weren't a young man. ā
Li Du was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, yes, I'm also a college student, damn it, I forgot." ā
The first thing to do was to find a place to stay, and Hans asked, "Do you want to camp anymore?" We can eat here and then go to the Cactus Scenic Loop, which is eight miles long, open to cars, with all kinds of picnic areas, viewpoints, and camping areas. ā
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Rest today, find a place to rest, look, my three children are tired." ā
Ahh
Animals that do not exercise for a long time and are in an enclosed space will also feel tired, which is a kind of mental exhaustion, which can be more uncomfortable than physical exhaustion.
Accommodation prices in Tucson can vary considerably, with lower rates in summer and autumn when temperatures are high and few people want to come here.
Hans contacted a modern hotel near the desert to stay under the stars and next to a cactus, free coffee and waffles in the morning, and a movie on the big screen.
In front of the hotel is a sand land square, on which barbecues are allowed, and the hotel also has a large open kitchen, which can be used after paying the money and cooking for yourself.
In this way, Li Du decided to cook and eat by himself, if he eats Western food and constantly changes the environment, he will be a little unaccustomed to eating.
Godzilla and Ooku got off the bus and went to buy a bunch of absolute hot dogs, this Li Du had already eaten last time he came to Tucson, with bacon wrapped between the bread, and tomato salsa in the middle, banbeans, crushed cheese, crushed tomatoes, mayonnaise, mustard and onions, etc.
The hot dogs needed to be heated, so they borrowed a grill from the hotel, and the two big men roasted them happily.
The square in front of the hotel is open to the public, because the nearby environment is good, and many people will come to have a barbecue party in the evening.
When Li Du and the others arrived, there were already dozens of people waiting in the square, and the square land was divided into different areas with lime water, some large and some small.
So he wondered, "What's going on here, why are you divided into sections?"
Hans said: "The people in Tucson are very strong, and there were often small-scale clashes here and Mexico, and the state police and militia were unreliable, and people relied more on themselves, and developed a brave and martial folk style." ā
Needless to say, Li Du has already guessed: "This kind of folk customs is reflected in life, that is, everyone will fight for turf?
Hans snapped his fingers: "Absolutely, that's it. You don't know it yet, but here in Tucson, the warehouse auction kills people every year. ā
"Huh?"
"The competition is cruel, brother. Hans said lazily, "We like to quarrel in the middle, and the people here try not to beep when they can do it, and prefer to fight." ā
Li Du said: "Then we have to be careful." ā
The official stiffened his neck and said, "What are you afraid of? These barbarians in Tucson will bully the weak, you can't show fear, you have to be harder than them!"
Hans nodded, "Are you right, you've been here?"
The official said: "Well, a good guy of mine has been in trouble here, there are twenty people on the other side, and he only has one, but when the conflict occurs, he is not afraid, but acts tougher!"
Li Du admired and said: "What a tough guy, and then his tough attitude scared the other party away?"
"No, it's a disability. ā
Li Du was speechless, looked at him and said, "Are you telling jokes to tease me?"
The masturbation officer said: "Of course not, although he was beaten, he was disabled as a tough guy, and he was a tough guy disabled." ā
"Shit!" Li Du gave him the middle finger.
They don't have to be afraid, there are two fierce beasts, Godzilla and O'o, and Li Du also has a tiger cat and a raccoon, which looks a lot like a big man in Mexico.
Now the bigwigs not only like to take thugs, but also like to take beasts on the street, and the tiger cat is barely a beast.
When they arrived at the square, they chose a relatively spacious area with a faucet next to it, which made it easier to clean up.
Godzilla and Ooku were busy roasting hot dogs first, while Li Du was resting with drinks, and he asked Godzilla to help him boil a pot of hot water on the stove and prepare to eat noodles.
When the sun sets, there are more and more people in the square.
There was no one around them, and Godzilla and Ooku had been busy in front of the oven all afternoon, and when it was hot and the charcoal fire was hot, they took off their coats and looked bare-chested, looking fierce.
Seeing this scene, Hans laughed and said: "We will definitely be relaxed at the auction this time, I bet that few people dare to provoke us." ā
Li Du looked at his smug appearance and warned him: "Don't provoke others, make money in harmony, we are here to make money, not to find trouble!"
It was a little later in the day, and several off-road vehicles painted in camouflage drove up, and the cars stopped, and a group of soldiers with big shoulders and round waists got out of the cars, carrying beer kegs and ovens.
The GIs walked up to the vicinity and occupied all the vacant space, and a black GI looked at them with a cold face and asked, "Who let you be here?"
