Lucky Us!

We went to the Welcome Breakfast this morning.  They had coffee and buns, danish etc. and told us all about what's available in the resort and in the surrounding area.  They had representatives who did bus tours, Jeep tours, ballooning, and many more.  We each got a draw ticket on the way in  for a free 4 1/2 hour city bus tour.  Our ticket had 6 numbers and they drew the number 136.  Our ticket was 196136.  Right away we thought we lost and then realized they were reading only the last 3 numbers.  YEAH!  We are going tomorrow morning at 8:10.  Ouch, that hurts.  They will pick us up at the main office.  We are looking forward to it very much.

After that, we drove around town and went to Old Town. We discovered a free trolley and hopped on it for a 40 minute round trip.  You can get on and off it, but we just wanted to know what there is in the area so we stayed on until we got back where we started. The stores in that area are the oldest in Phoenix and there is a bar called the Rusty Spur.  It is one of the very few legitimate country bars in Phoenix.  We had lunch there and there was a country/western singer playing.  Nice.

Here's Joe with some of his friends in Old Town.

This is me with Joe in his new cowboy outfit.

After that I needed a drink! 

We spent the rest of the afternoon looking at Mobile Home Parks in the area then came back for a drink in the bar here at the resort.   We sat outside by the fireplace.  Can you believe that!  They have a regular stone fireplace out by the pool.  The fire was lit and we sat with our drinks on nice comfortable chairs and read our books. Cool.

Unfortunately the internet has been down but finally came up just as I was thinking about my bed.

Bonnie and Joe going for a city bus tour tomorrow.
