Busy busy busy!

Well we have been busy girls and guys (Jim, our driver and friend has been with us every step of the way!)

Wednesday was a tour filled day for us. I will let Kirsty fill you in on our afternoon. We visited both the University of Phoenix Staduim - Home to the Arizona Cardinals and Cabalas - a HUGE sporting goods store. But more from Kirsty on that.
*I will say that Kirsty did acquire the skill of walking backwards like all good tour guides can while talking!*

On Wednesday morning we toured two historical properties Manistee Ranch (toured by Carol & Chuck) and Sahuaro Ranch (with Nancy), both in Glendale. Two different properties with a lot of stories to be told.

We also visited a "Xeriscape Garden" which is a garden which doesnt particularly require a lot of water. (There will be a much more technical way to tell this tale, excuse my wording!) We were taken around by Jo who was passionate about her job and had been doing some fantastic work sending out the environmental message to Glendale.

It was interesting to hear that although parts of Arizona are in drought, they still do have many sources of water and do not yet require water restrictions. Drought is something that we can all relate to, with Sarah telling us Goulburn's water level was down to 7% at its lowest point.

We had lunch at another amazing mexican restaurant (those who know me - Im loving the mexican food!) with Richard and Judy Martin. Judy was kind enough to give us a copy of her book - "Arizona Walls If only they could speak".

My camera is dead, by hopefully the girls will provide a few photos.

Today - Thursday was a great day. We toured the Luke Air Force Base this morning, presented to the Glendale Rotary Club at lunch and visited the AZ wine company for some wine tasting in the afternoon.
