Kit and Carol on the Road

Kirsten wanted to see Biosphere 2. Kit and I had been there years ago. This was a totally different experience. It is too complicated to figure out the ownership but there is a brand new visitor center and on this tour we actually got to go inside the biomes. We had a great tour guide and learned about the human experiment in the 90's as well as current research. Plus we got to go down into the basement to see the innards of this engineering marvel. The Lung was really cool. The only disappointing bit was that they advertised a "Cafe" on site. We had expectations. What we found was a b grade snack bar with candy and pop and cold hot dogs if you were really desperate --we weren't. (the little "houses" were part of an experiment with green roofs--we got to help.)
