Well, we finally arrived in sunny Arizona! We plan to camp out here for a little while, since the boys want to get in as much cheap golf as they can before school starts. They played twice already, golfing into the twilight hours where they could barely see each other - let alone find where they hit their balls! But they don't care one whit. Side note: they did see an actual wild Lynx cat while they were playing. A Lynx on the Links. Get it?!
We crossed yet another National Park off the list going to Saguaro, just outside Tucson. A different kind of beautiful to be sure, and trust me, those darn cactus do bite back!!! We've hiked and ran among them a bit, but I've learned not to get too close!
Ok - So, I'm standing on a boulder in the middle of the desert and my phone rings. I answer - it's India and the signal is great! I couldn't believe it. I moved and lost the call. As long as I stood on the rock, we could talk. I felt like Robin Williams in that RV movie. I just hope we don't have any of the other crazy mishaps he had. (The ugly sewer scene - been there done that - just ask Gary)
Wacky food update: Taro root burgers. The boys' new favorite. Seems ketchup will make anything taste good!!! No, seriously, they were really great. Really.
We also went to an Indian restaurant where you had to take your shoes off before you sat cross-legged on pillows to eat - which posed a bit a problem for those of us with less than limited flexibility! While we ate, some guy rang a bell and sang in some strange haunting language. We must have come during prayer time to Buddha or maybe he just had a very strange idea of good soothing dinner music. Needless to say, we prayed a bit more loudly, but hey, the food was good. :)
Camping tip of the day - Need to fight classic boredom in an RV on a rainy day? Try to see how many one armed push ups you can do. Yes, I am surrounded by way too many males and yes, they get bored way too easily!
Well, after driving in rain for 3 hours, (rain in the desert?!) we are finally settled on a lake outside of Phoenix. It's a bit chilly here for the natives, but we'll take the 50's over 15 below! We can not complain a bit - I know! We plan to ring in the New Year with a little pasta, a little garlic toast and a maybe a good movie - or two!
Here's to wishing and praying all have a blessed 2015!!
