March 31, 2015 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 8 °CThis was a very sad, tearful day. Last evening we spoke with Alyssa who informed us that our 17 l/2 year old Kobi had just suffered what appeared to be a stroke. He had no strength in his hind legs and repeatedly wanted to turn his body to the right side only. He wouldn't eat or drink. It wasRead more
March 30, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 15 °CNow the scenery became somewhat monotonous, as prairies can be. There were a lot of trains hauling coal and oil. We stopped at one scenic rest area along the Missouri River. It seems that rattlesnakes aren't limited to Arizona, so I walked no further. The temperature has ranged from 34 C inRead more
March 29, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 11 °CWe varied our route by driving through Denver and then north to Cheyenne. Fortunately it was a Sunday afternoon so we didn't encounter heavy traffic in downtown Denver. Wyoming had a speed limit of 80 mph (130 kph). We had never seen such a speed limit before. It took us 8 hours for the 492 mileRead more
March 28, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C750 km and 8 hours later we arrived in Santa Fe. We were both looking forward to a delicious meal of New Mexican cooking and weren't disappointed with the food at the Blue Corn Cafe. JS enjoyed a spicy chili lime margarita.
March 28, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °CAlthough neither of us felt ready to return home, it was time to begin the long journey north. It was a very scenic drive as we ventured off the interstates.
March 27, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 30 °CIt was our last day in Scottsdale. Our plan had been to go on a hike but when the temperature quickly reached a near record high of 95 F (35 C) and the TV news reporters were issuing warnings about a record number of rattlesnake bites, we abandoned that idea. Instead I did laundry, cleaned the car,Read more
March 26, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °CIn Phoenix, housing developers are required by law to protect all native flora. So when new housing developments are built they must use the existing plants in their landscaping. That means there are wildflowers, cactus and shrubs everywhere.

March 26, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °CIt was another scorcher today, 93 F and sunny. John opted for a pool day; whereas I went for a l l/2 hour bike ride and joined him at the pool afterwards. Because there is so little humidity, the heat wasn't unbearable when I was biking. This area is very good for cycling. Wherever there is a gatedRead more
March 25, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °CThe desert trek made John desire an icy margarita on the rocks. So we used the GPS to track down a Mexican restaurant for dinner. We were lucky to find one that had delicious food, as there is a Mexican eatery on every block. We both enjoyed our enchiladas.....John had the chipotle chicken and I hadRead more

Another early morning as we had set up an appointment to attend a timeshare presentation. The only reason we did it was to earn the $100 they offer.
In the afternoon what better activity to do in 93 F (34 C) weather than to go on a desert hike. We wandered through the Desert Botanical Garden for 3Read more
