Then back home for another coffee and shortly after 9am we hopped in the car to check out the Arizona Marketplace , one of our favourite markets to explore,
 |
| this the place to go |
Nice to go on a Thursday no need to pay on the weekend one dollar per person and nice that is so quiet here early in the morning , We can walk the isles and talk to the vendors if we wish without the crowds yet.
 |
| lots of awning shades here for good prices |
 |
| you want STUFF? they have it |
 |
| lotsa room to roam and we did |
 |
| good prices on produce as well |
 |
| then Wally's World , deals to be had |
 |
| want ice cream ? not yet |
 |
| no crowds yet |
 |
| need a slot machine ? |
 |
| yup it is |
Then the entertainment is just starting, this guy is pretty good.
 |
| starting to get busy , soon we can leave |

Back home just after 11 am a light tasty lunch and relax outside under our awning on a wonderful warm sunny afternoon.

I enjoyed a nice hot shower, dumped our sewage and filled our fresh water tank while Suzie cleaned our coach and gave the floors a good cleaning with her spin mop she loves.
 |
enjoying this FREE 3 nights with full hookups
and free wifi bonus |
About 3 pm this Harley pulled up and stopped in front of our site, Has to be Henk Dorst, a blog follower that does not comment but has e mailed us for the last 5 years . Finally we get to meet him ! I believe he is from British Columbia Canada, Maybe Alberta, my memory is not that great. But he spends pretty well every winter in this area and we have been trying to hook up all these years, He met the Bayfield Bunch I think 2 years ago in Congress and has followed both of us. Actually the 4-5 of us.
 |
this be Henk a single rv'er
looking for a nice companion to join him(female)
hope I did not say something wrong Henk. |
It was so nice to meet him after all these years and so much to talk about, well we flapped our gums for a couple of hours and enjoyed his company. He would love to travel east in Canada and explore SW Ontario where we hang out if he can find a place to stay (reasonable) of a while.
 |
he has a ride he loves to do , and travels in a nice class A coach
spending his winters here in the Yuma Area |
 |
| Henk (Henkster) and me |
 |
Suzie likes his ride too, but no bikini
he asked for |
 |
Henk heading out with a wave ,
nice to finally meet you. |
Soon after he was gone I whipped up supper, tonight a simple stir fry with 5 large shrimp each we picked in yesterday in Mexico.
 |
| easy and quick |
 |
| oh my, what a tasty feast we had |
Now I actually managed to catch a nice sunset here, behind the ballroom, ( I had to search for it) and did not disappoint .
That was our fun last day here did what we wanted to do in the area and bonus meeting another blog follower. In the morning we heading on out slowly making our way east back home. First stop some nice quiet desert camping for a while .
Glad that y'all dropping in for a visit and hope you had a great day as well.
Want to learn more about Membership camping
at Rock Glen Family Resort ?
Where have we been this winter ?
I've never gotten out of AZ Marketplace with just oranges. It's usually a big bag of stuff I didn't know I needed.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet a follower. I know we were thrilled to meet you and Suzie.
Suzie looks great on the bike. You better keep her away from the mortorcycle shows or you'll be trailering one behind the motorhome, and no Saturn.
We seldom buy anything there that is not edible, but always a fun market to explore
DeleteIt was fun finally meeting Henk and so many years of correspondence.
I tried for a motorcycle but she would not go for it, so the Saturn will just have to do.
Nice that you finally had the opportunity to meet up with the a blog follower.
ReplyDeleteSo evidently Tom and I arrived at the Arizona Market Place last Saturday before they started collecting the $1 to get in. On the way out Tom said it looked like people were being charged to go in and I guess they were. Being early birds we saved $2.00...LOL
It was fun finally meeting him a real nice fellow.
DeleteAlways pays to be early most places beat the crowds and save some money.
Why no bikini Suzie! Great produce prices. Excellent sunset shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Contessa. We tried but she said it was not warm enough out, lol.
DeleteExcellent day, glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteLove Henk's ride, I can see why Suzie likes it too.
Safe travels tomorrow.
It was a fun day and the sunshine back again wonderful !
DeleteIt's always nice to meet friends...especially finally meeting old friends in person!! That's a nice ride Hank!!!
ReplyDeleteThat market place sure has about anything you might want!! I'd love to walk through there!!
It was nice to meet hime and this Marketplace is always fun to explore
DeleteEvery time we go to that market, I ask Paul if I can buy that lite cactus. I love that thing. Guess what his answer always is....let's just say I don't have one :(
ReplyDeleteLOl lots of things might be nice but do we really need them. .
DeleteLove the market.
Love love Arizona Marketplace. It's a fun place to spend an afternoon. Tell Henk to drop me a line. As an old Harley rider, I think we might have something in common!!
ReplyDeleteWill do Nancy.

ReplyDeleteWe certainly leave with more than a bag of fruit. :)
Homeward bound, EH? Expect some rain if you come too far but nicer tomorrow.
It is a fun place to explore. We don't usually buy too much, not much we need.
DeleteYup on the road taking our time. Hopefully we can avoid the rain.
Nice market. Think I went there once several years back. Mexican music for entertainment. Really nice.
