Phoenix
Phoenix So after having a good night last night i woke up just after 9am today and Dave had stayed overnight and he was leaving so we said our goodbyes. The kids were up and Julie the other surfer was up and so were Larry and Trisha. so it turns out i made a mistake as Trisha and Larry are not together, she is a friend and she had no place to stay and so Larry the nice guy that he is gave her a place to stay.
So i had frosted flakes for breakfast and looked at some of Julies pictures, she has had a cool life😊 and we chatted some for a while and then i watched some tv with Larrys kids and then grabbed a shower. A bit later i jumped in larrys pick up with Julie and we went with her to the arena near the Arizona State University Stadium, Julie is working on the half time show for the superbowl in two weeks time and she needed to get her pass from the office which was located near the arena.
Around the arena is a retail and eatrie/bar complex and Julie had to wait 30

Phoenix mins for her pass and so me and Larry headed to Margritaville a bar/eatrie while we waited on Julie, we had a local larger called landshark and landshark is Larrys nickname, we had the largers loaded and that meant they were topped with tequilla. Margeritaville is a chain owned by jeff butters or something like that and he is an american singer.
We had a beer and then ordered some nachos and in the mean time Julie came back with her pass and Larry dropped off Julie at the dome and came back and we eat the nachos and both had another loaded landshark beer and then we headed into the shop at the rear of the bar and Larry got himself a landshark baseball cap and a fridge magnet. We walked through the retail/bar area and they had cool fountains and they had signs giving the direction and milage to far off parts like Zurich and Rio etc, the area was packed with coyote and sabre fans (hockey teams) as the cup final was being held at the arena.
We then headed back to the pick up and Larry drove to tempe which is just at the

Phoenix southern edge of phoenix and he nipped into a construction site he works on abd went in to do some work for about an hour and a half and i walked around the shops on mill lane, including a shop called hippe gyspies and it was full of tye dye and bongs......lol, mill lane is just off the ASU (Arizona State Uni) and i walked to tempe lake and walked and looked round and by this stage the cold that had been building on me from Friday kicked in and my throat got more sore and i was sneezing and sniffling lots, i then went up 'A' mountain and this is a mountain that over looks the lake and ASU campus and has a large yellow steel 'A' on it which was placed on it by the ASU and i got to the top and soaked in the sun and checked out the great view, i headed back down and met up with Larry and we headed back to the house and i asked if we could stop at a drug store and we chatted and then got to walgreens and i got alkselzer max flu as Larry said it
Phoenix
Phoenix was good for clearing up flu and cold.
Larry picked up some drugs for jayad as she had a bee sting from a few days ago that wouldnt clear up, when we got back to the house and Erica a friend of larrys and a CSer was at the house (she was at the meet up yesterday) and her friend dinna is also a CSer, but dinna was not here.
So Erica was in the back yard chatting to Trisha and Justin and Jacob were playing, i hung out with them for while outside and had the alkselzer stuff and played with the kids and took a piccy of the sunset and then it got colder and we came in, then larry took me out the front to show me the cool big,bright full moon that was out, i took a piccy but it did not do it justice.
The kids then started doing there homework and Larry was surfing the web and Erica offered to make us all veggie lasgna and her and larry headed out to get ingridents and me and trisha tried to help the kids with some querys they had on there homework.

Phoenix Larry and Erica got back and Erica got back and Erica started making the lasgna.
Erica is a teacher and explained how her school was poorly funded and they lacked books etc,meanwhile while she was chatting and the food was cooking i was feeling queasy, not sure if it was theflu tablets or what?, the lasgna was good and after we finished up Erica went on her way.
At 10pm me and Larry went to Pick Julie and we went to a place called the Yard House and they have 100's of draught beers/largers and we had a drink and some nibbles and then headed back to the house at 12.30pm. The plan tomorrow is to go to downtown phoenix and maybe go round camel back and by the Zoo maybe?
Julie is off tomorrow and so i think i will be going round with Julie and trisha and larry will be working.
