6. People have family and friends there, as I do, who they normally

visit. Conventions are held there often also, one of which has already been canceled. Arizona is a beautiful state to visit and many people do so every year.

Arizona has beautiful mountains and deserts. Tucson is a neat city and so is Prescott and Flagstaff.
