The time in Phoenix has been incredible but we need to hit the road because we are blowing our budget. I have everything set up in Mint.com (which by the way is an excellent free website to track your budget and expenses and investments) and I continually get alerts that we have blown our "meals" "cash withdrawal" budgets for the month of March and we are only half way through the month. Definitely a lot of peanut butter and jelly going forward. It is $3 burger night tonight at Mazee's so we might be okay.
While in Phoenix we got lucky and got to attend the "build it green" conference at the convention center and attended a lecture on Paolo Soleri who built "Arcosanti" and was a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright. Incredible architect and artist. If ever in Phoenix make it a priority to go see Arcosanti. The first true sustainable community.
We bought a new tent and camp stove for the trip along with a bike rack off of Craig's list. Next is trying to find Roby a new travelling guitar. We have to get him playing so we are able to earn some money on this trip.
This past weekend was our good friend Kathy's 50th birthday and we were so glad we were delayed to be able to go and celebrate with her. John, her husband did it 1st class. We all went out in a limo and had dinner at Lon's at the Hermosa Inn (another great restuarant-put it on your list) and then drinks at the Sanctuary(again, put it on your list) I feel like I am on the Travel Channel. In all a great evening-with remnants in the morning unfortunately!!!
We have a few more days in Phoenix and we are hoping to get in a spring training game for the Indians and then hit the road.
