Old Folks Home

I had my first day of docent training at Tohono Chul Park today. It's basically an outdoor museum with lots of awesome gardens, cool plants, & wild animals. The training program is 18 weeks long and it will certainly be a challenge learning all the names of the creatures and plants of the desert so that I can give excellent tours. I'm by far the youngest in the class. There is one lady in her late 30's and most everyone else is a retiree. One lady mentioned to me that I must feel like I walked into an old folks home and I was like, "Oh, I'm used to being the youngest person in a group. I do craft projects at the library." LOL. I hope that doesn't make me sound too weird. Anyway... They are definitely an interesting group and our trainer is super funny & goofy, so class is interesting. There is a lot of reading and a lot to take in, but the grounds are beautiful and I think this will be good.
