Four of the Longwood Graduate Program Fellows will be visiting Arizona
from June 5 - June 12, 1994.  We will be visiting Boyce-Thompson
Botanical Garden, Desert Botanical Garden, Tohono Chul Park, Tuscon
Botanical Garden, Saguaro National Monument, Petrified Forest National
Park, the Grand Canyon, the Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, and possibly
Biosphere II.  The purpose of the visit is to experience the Arizona
ecology, and to visit with museum and public garden professionals to
discuss programming, etc.
 
Just a couple of questions:
1) Only two of the Fellows were going to go to Biosphere II.  Is it worth
        it?  Is there something else in the Tuscon area the other Fellows could
        be doing during that time?
 
2) Is there anything that we should see that is not currently on our
        itinerary?
 
3) What about night life in these various areas, such as good,
        inexpensive places to eat and relax(remember we're grad students)?
 
4) Does anyone have an e-mail address for someone at the Arizona-Sonoran
        Desert Museum?  We've tried calling several times, and no one
        returns our calls.
 
Please e-mail me directly so as not to clutter up the list.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
