Today we got up at 6:00 and had a amazing breakfast at the hotel and then drove to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. We did not do any hiking because we climbed a mountain yesterday. So we are all tired. Instead we did the driving tour. We got to learn about so much stuff like the organ pipe cactus and the prickly pear cactus. The driving 🚗 tour was two hours long. We got to stop at many spots and take pictures. The organ pipe cactus starts at the ground and has many arms that come out of the very bottom of the base. Today’s visit inspired me to keep exploring the many kinds of cactus. I hope to go back soon. Anyway here comes the bad luck. So if you remember last year our car 🚗 got broken into on day 14 last year(today is day 14 in the trip). And today while we were driving to Phoenix. We had been going for about 15 minutes (we were 15 minutes away from the visitor center) we heard 👂 beeeeep. OH NO FLAT TIRE. We pulled off to the side of the road where we were greeted by an empty tire. My dad and mum did a amazing job getting it off and the new one on. Then we went to a shop and got the car tire fixed. We also went to a coffee ☕ shop for lunch. We got the tire and made it to the kimpton Phoenix safely. Then we went to the wine 🍷 hour. Zoe and I came back to the room and watched Chopped. Then we went to an amazing dinner at the Blue Hound. I learned today that not all days are either good or bad 👎but some days are in between.
Day 14 and we saw a lot more cactus they looked like organ pipes and we had very bad luck today and I will tell you about that later.😜
