Trip to Arizona!
I have such a funny tale to tell! Jennifer and I have laughed so much, our sides hurt and it's just been one thing after another! On the way, I listened to the rest of The Double Bind and I can honestly say that I never caught on to the whole story until the last few pages! It's well worth reading. I listened on my Ipod, but lots of folks were using the Kindle gadget and they just loved it! But back to the trip - I ended up staying at a motel near the airport and reviews were so terribe I called the manager back and told him I would have to cancel, but he begged me to come on - he said it was VERY safe and CLEAN! and they would get me to the airport in just five minutes and handle my luggage, too! So I stayed with them and they were super nice - at 3:30 Am the nightclub next door closed and tons of drunks poured out - so I didn't need a wake=up call! Then the guy who drove me to the airport let me out at the baggage section rather than the upstairs, but he was nice and took my bags up on the escalator,,,,and I took a wheel chair to the gate which seemed to be 5 miles away!....when we landed in Chicago (Ohare) a really really big airport it seemed like 10 miles, but the most fascinating thing about Ohare are the toilets! The seat has a revolving kind of a saran wrap and I've never seen that before so naturally i had to let it go around a few times just to see it work!
When I got to Tuscon, my telephone wouldn't work and I came in one wing and Jennifer came in another, but we finally met up and headed for Patagonia! The directions we got were awful and besides we just got turned around and drove in the wrong direction - turned around and drove a few miles and then decided that we were right the first time and drove back! (I was not driving!)...Patagonia is NOT like the website! Finding the Tree of Life farm was not too easy and it is up in the mountains...that's where Jennifer will be taking her treatments, but we are staying at the Enchanted Gardens and "enchanted" is not exactly what they are, but it is colorful and we are here for 12 days! The really big problem though is the beds! One is on the floor and the other is about two inches off the floor and I absolutely cannot get up! I can get down, but my knees won't make it - Jennifer had to pull me up! - and by the time we tried to get down (and then up!) I was worn out! We are having an "experience"! There is a couch so I'll sleep on that tonight! The people are delightful! All vegan people and yoga type are always nice - One other thing! Driving through town, we were so mixed up and confused - and suddently there was a siren and blue lights behind us! Dale (the local policeman) pulled us over we were driving 45 in a 30 mile zone, we were turning (from the wrong lane) and something else, but he decided that he would not give us a ticket
One final note and then I'll stop- went up to the Tree of Life Farm for dinner and it was all "raw" and "live" - and it was awful! Jennifer does all that kind of preparing, but her food is very tasty - this was not - so I'm sure to lose weight while I am here - I'll have one main meal (lunch),,,for breakfast, it is tea and fruit and for supper - fruit and avacados Tomorrow, I'm going to do some sketching and reading!...(and we do have a television so I'l watch Dancing with the Stars
I've started listening to Down River (John Hart). I'lll probably listen to a lot these next 12 days!
