Saturday we are up and off by 10.15 to the cinema only 20 minutes away to catch the live from the MET La Traviata. My GPS deposits us in the middle of the Indian reserve 20 minutes before it starts! Sheesh. I make a quick decision to head west, catch the main 101 highway south and come back to the same road the other side of the arroyo and highway. Ramp to 101 closed!
Into the very very busy area of Tempe Marketplace, a huge shopping mall.
It is also spring training for baseball in Phoenix now. Everyone is going to the game. The main stadium is next to the Marketplace. Oh joy. Everyone is steering people in to parking along the route, so it's slow then slower...finally my GPS gets the right location. There is a cinema in a big mall. Yeah.
We rush in. We have booked seats and I remember they are at the end of the row. We stumble in the dark. There are people in our seats....they have to move...we can't see any other empty seats but they disappear behind us.
The seats are huge lazyboy type recliners fit for 300 pounders. I am lost in mine. Fortunately I have brought a cashmere sweater and wrap and I need them both. Ted wraps himself in his hoodie.
The performance is stunning, there are two cinemas here both full. The people in front of us are from Edmonton...but lots of people more interested in opera than baseball.
We drive around finding our fav grocery stores, Trader Joe first. By the time we get home we are exhausted, cranky, tired and hungry. Ted does not believe in lunch...blood sugar running very very low...thank goodness we found the Haagen Diaz chocolate/almond ice cream bars today...
We do get cable TV here but it's hardly evening entertainment, mainly rubbish...the occasional good movie on Turner Classic Movies or PBS programs.
It is 33 mos days not, blue blue sky and the mountains look as if they are behind out RV park. The top of the mountain is about 9000 ft so it gets cool at ights still. Great for sleeping. We are eating very lightly here, lots of fish soup, lobster bisque with more fish/shrimp added to them. They are practically giving away the asparagus and strawberries here, under $1 for big bunches and big clamshells. But the strawberries are still being picked too early. Good fish is easy to find and I found Canadian lobster tails for $6 each this week too.
