Lots of colour and fun sights: The sunsets are spectacular if there are any clouds at all, and this one lasted for about 30 minutes instead of the usual fleeting moment. The wedding was just too fun not to sneak a phot of and I am convinced red is the best bridal colour. Why waste your time on white when red is so gorgeous. The limo was a super long Hummer! The 3rd pic is of a Chihuly sculpture at Desert Botanical Gardens: stunning. I put these all on Facebook but withouth the story...
Putting in time today as it is hot again and we don't feel too energized. Went for a longish walk this morning which was enough. We picked up a sandwich and salad at Fry's and had a picnic in the greenbelt park that runs behind this apratment complex. The park seems to run for about 20 miles and is the most amazing public facility you can imagine. There are all kinds of outdoor sports facilities like frisbee golf, volleyball and basketball and lots of stramsa and ponds with people actually fishing, as well as miles of walking/cycling paths. We are impressed.
What we've learned on this trip is that we aren't cut out for an idle life. It's all very well to come south for a week or two but to imagine a couple of months of it is just completely outsid our realm. We have happy active lives at home with our frineds and projects and really aren't interrested in playing golf 5 times a week or eternal shopping. It's a good discovery as we won't be pining about it. Jim has just come in from washing the car, a vintage (1995) Lexus, and he's in a lather! Looking forward to a very busy two weeks at home before going east for a week of granddaughters.
