| lots more vendors |
Cool overnight, but good for sleeping, when the sun rises it does not take things very long to warm up , shorts and t shirts are on and we are looking for shade. Walking and riding my bike about our desert neighborhood this morning and was chatting with a few neighbours here and there. One was Bill from San Francisico that remembers us from previous years and says "don't you usually park over there?" a about 50 feet from where we were parked, hey its been 2 years. Then an early lunch and we are off to explore more vendors at Tyson Wells. We saw yesterday that a bunch more new ones had set up, now all the 28 rows were full.

Do we need anything?, no, do we buy anything? not usually unless it is something we need or can consume. But the nice thing is walking about, looking at stuff in the sunshine and fresh air. Now today we got a good deal, a rollup sunshade for the passenger window on our coach $5.00, to keep the hot sun from beating in on Suzie's computer while we are driving. (it has the GPS and Map program on it, very important.)

| lotsa stuff |
Oh and as we walked by the book vendor we stopped and picked up 11 more novels for $10.00, why not? Excellent books, new authors and a fantastic price, stock up while you can. And you know part of the shopping and looking is also people watching, lots of different characters, people and animals like this woman walking about shopping and talking to her parrot.

| rocks and gems here |
More walking and people watching we are beginning to head home and we see this couple in the distance walking towards us, hmm all four of us look at each other, familiar ? yes. John and Margaret, we met them here in the desert 2006, then Imperial Dam BLM and Algodones border crossing in 2007, and have not seen them since. A nice elderly couple from England that now live in British Columbia in the summer and travel about Arizona in their truck camper in the winter. Now we chatted for awhile then carried on with our journey home, with a slight detour past the big tent to check with the Roadmaster booth to enquire about the tow bar we have for towing our car. Its now almost 6 years old and they suggested that I bring it in and they will check it over, clean and lubricate it
and replace any broken or worn parts for free! So back home now I removed it from the coach put in the trunk of the car and dropped it off for them to inspect.
Now we can sit in the shade to relax and read a bit, tired feet today. As we do this nice to see these ladies below walking their dogs, the easy way.

| walking? the dogs |
As the day progresses its time for supper, and tonight some of our canned garlic sausage, sauerkraut, boiled potatoes, carrots and broccoli for supper, then read, chat and some tv. These small luncheon plates sure make it look like a lot of food.
Life is good!!

Notice the controls for this New Map on the left side, you can zoom into different areas of the map and see where we are or have been.
With all the walking you are doing you are entitled to larger plates filled right up! Not sure I could bypass all those vendors and not buy 'stuff'. A cool 54F at 8AM, just waiting for that Mazatlan sun to warm us up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Contessa but we don't need to replace all those calories we burned off, just a few is good.
