I'm not that emotional sometimes.

As this is my last week in Tucson, I know I will miss it. I will miss the county seat of Pima County, Arizona, United States, located 118 miles (188 km) southeast of Phoenix, which, as of July 1, 2004, a Census estimate put the city's population at 521,605, and the metropolitan population at 931,210. The population of metropolitan Tucson is expected to exceed 1 million by spring 2007.

I will miss the friendliness of this city that became part of the United States after the Gadsen Purchase in 1853. I will miss the stunning views of this desert city, a total area of 505.3 km² (195.1 mi²), located along I-10, a highway which runs to Phoenix and Los Angeles in the northwest, and through El Paso, Texas to Jacksonville, Florida in the east.

I will miss its cloudless pre-summer sky, which is characterized by low humidity, and daytime high temperatures that exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

But mostly, I will miss the people, of which is 70.15% White, 4.33% Black or African American, 2.27% Native American, 2.46% Asian, 0.16% Pacific Islander, 16.85% from other races, and 3.79% from two or more races. 35.72% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race. Whose median income for a household in the city was $30,981, and the median income for a family was $37,344.

Yes, I will miss this place.
