I know, I know, I am in Arizona, but I did get out of the heat in Laughlin, NV. It's only 82 here and a nice breeze up in pine country at 7000 ft. elevation. Don't even need A/C here.
Got here yesterday, a fairly uneventful drive, but long hills to climb to get up to this elevation. Hope I make up for it on the way down. I'm here until Sunday, and then two days to get to Santa Fe. Will see some long time friends there as well. My friend Don Bigioni arrived late yesterday from Phoenix to spend a couple of days with me. Tomorrow, maybe today yet, some friends from Scottsdale are coming up in their own motorhome. They'll be parked right next to me. That's Bob and Dougal who bought a nearly identical motorhome from the same dealership, AZ location, on the same day I bought mine in Calif. I tried to get them to talk me out of buying mine, but they were no help since they were doing the same thing, at the same time. Also coming up here tomorrow are mutual friends, Howard and Jeff, from Gold Canyon outside of Phoenix. I'm sure we'll have a good time.
I've been mostly cooking in so far, but last night Don and I went to the downtown historic district for a good meal......well, maybe not better than mine, but quite good. :) This morning we walked around the very beautiful Northern Arizona University campus near downtown, and then drove up to the Lowell Observatory, located up on a hill just outside of town. Very interesting. Even got to see some sun spots through a smaller telescope.
So sorry that I have to cut this off, but I must get out and party.

I will be in Santa Fe starting the 17th. Too bad we will miss each other. You could stop in see Mom.

I've always liked downtown Flagstaff. Hope you had fun!
ReplyDeleteIt was warm (mid to high 80's) and humid in Pennsylvania, but it's been downright chilly since we've been back in SD.
ReplyDeleteI took Ray to the Red Door for dinner on his birthday and had a great meal. The waiter had somewhat of an attitude but was attentive. And each dish we had was superb. I especially like the banana cream pie.
Ray leaves in two days for almost two weeks in Europe. I'll miss him, although it makes the homecoming all the sweeter.
I don't envy you the heat, but I hope you're enjoying yourself. This Sunday we'll be down to four of us. More people to talk about.
