for pictures, although the house has improved since then, it's very comfortable, has a piano, home-made pottery, first nation rugs on the walls, central to Tucson happenings.

Walk to children's museum, drive to Old Tucson - (movie set, a real tourist attraction), the Desert Museum (phenomenal for desert flora an fauna), Tohono O'odham museum. Gorgeous desert landscape, hiking. Walk to the YMCA pool, excerice, sauna - the best Mexican food!

this is also great biking terrain, and we are but one block from a park with basketball court - we supply the basketball!

I'm a retired physician, Marty is a housebuilder and remodeller, 9-y-o Joseph plays violin, loves math and is home-schooled.

We just came back from a 6 month tour of Europe, visiting communities, learning french and practicing spanish, and a little italian.

most immediately we are hoping to swap our home for a place to stay in Quebec in February 2008 for 3 days.

we are open to house sharing, too. That means that we enjoy getting to know people, and are happy to contribute to your lives if you would be interested in renting/swapping a room for us even while you are there. In this case I would perhaps cook a gourmet meal for you, run some of your dastardly errands that would be novel for us, and the kids could play -

In other words, we are open and friendly and look forward to hearing from anyone with a house/houseboat/yert almost anywhere!

Looking forward to replies! Paula
