March 12 - Phoenix Lazy day


We are still here and having a great time but not much to report. The temperatures are in the 30s. Not much caching because of the heat but a lot of shopping and lounging in the pool. Even though it is hot when you are in the shade it is considerably much cooler because there is no humidity. We are enjoying being outside with no mosquitoes, especially in the morning for our coffee and in the evenings.

Last night there was a geocaching event so that we could meet other geocachers from the area. There were about 25 people there. It was fun and afterwards we invited the couple that hosted the event and the guy with the original can of beans from the first ever geocache to come to the condo for a drink. The woman sat outside on the patio while the men stayed inside the condo to talk geocaching. The guy with the can of beans is invited to the mega in Truro this summer. Just goes to show what a can of beans will do. He’s had all expense trips paid to many different countries.

Tomorrow is going to be another pool day and Tuesday, I have been invited to go shopping while Jacques goes geocaching with Steve. I’m a bit anxious about the shopping, I have a tendency to shop sales and bargains and she’s taking me to the Scottsdale area to shop. Not my price range but it should be fun anyway. We are meeting them in their home for coffee before we go our separate ways. so far, I have found 4 different tops. Not bad for someone who wasn’t going to do any shopping.

There are many bushes with red Bougainvillea flowers everywhere in the city. 





We have met a lot of people here. At least half of the people in the complex are Canadians, mostly from Alberta and Manitoba, a lot of them are from Winnipeg. One couple is from Vancouver. We are the furthest away from home. Everyone meets for drinks by the pool before supper and then everyone goes home for supper. It’s nice and makes a change to the day.


It’s now 9:30 and we have just come in from a dip in the pool. There was no one in the pool but us.

Arizona does not change the clock except for one reservation so we are now 4 hours different from home.
