A pitcure tells a thousand words...or some at least!

Since Caroline has given you a verbal snapshot of today, I thought I would pretty it up with some images to put it all in perspective.

 Giant (the paper to the left is A3 sized) beeds hanging in the entrance to The Bead Museum, promoting an exhibition on just around the corner.

My ENORMOUS taco salad at Bitzee Mama's in downtown Glendale. I put the business card there for perspective, but even still, it doesnt come close to showing the sheer size of it. Needless to say, I didnt eat much of it, and after a while the taco started to collapse from the pressure of all the food. You don't go hungry here - it's all part of the hospitality!

The first rattlesnake sighting. Yep, we were scared!

The team, including Craig (from the Arizona Team that came to Australia and a member of the Phoenix 100 Rotary Club) and Jim (our driver for the week and an honorary member of the Glendale Kachina Rotary Club) listening intently to Marissa at the Cerreta Candy Company.

Tomorrow's agenda includes:

• Tour of Manistee Ranch
• Tour of the Xeriscape Garden (which Kirsty and I are very excited about - and planning to 'steal' some ideas from for use in our own gardens)
• Tour of the Historic Sahuaro Ranch
• Lunch at Westgate
• Tour of the University of Phoenix Stadium (our universities would be shamed if they saw these stadiums!)
•  Tour of Cabela's - Michael and Andrew, by the looks of it, you would quite possibly die if you walked into this shop/store - a sportslovers heaven!
• Presentation to the Glendale West Rotary Club

We have 2 more days in Phoenix (& its lovely nearby surrounds that we have been exploring) before we head to Prescott.

Day 5, 44 more days for me to go and the benchmark has been set VERY VERY high!

Much love to everyone at home.
