Today was spent swimming in rivers and lakes in hot, hot Tempe. Tempe is real close to Phoenix, and just as hot. Justin’s friend Abe was our little tour guide. First we went to a river, realized the car needed a “day pass,” went back into town until we got to the nearest gas station where they sold day passes. Abe was talking to the guy at the counter, and asked him if he thought that we needed a day pass + a boat pass if our car could turn into a boat. The man’s reaction? “Uh, I don’t know.” And then, “I use to have one of those back in the day.” Abe and I burst out laughing as soon as we got to the car. A car-boat, back in the day? What?
The river was great. Semi-chilly, but I enjoyed it. Some wild (?) horses came to have a little refreshing drink on the other side of the river, and they were great fun to watch. Mango came in a couple times to rescue me again, but ended up perched on top of my head (again).
We went back to the house, said goodbye to Justin as he set off for work, and watched another movie. I think Bea and Abe were watching the Family Guy movie while I talked to Rob on the phone for a good hour and a half.. or however long the movie was. When I came back they were both snoozing and the credits were rolling. We figured we’d meet up with Justin at his workplace, the bowling alley. Tonight was $1.26 games, or something like that. I’m really horrible at bowling. I think my final score was 25 points. Horrible! I know. My second game was better, probably because we took a little intermission break and had a couple beers back at Justin’s. Don’t worry though, Abe was the DD. I think my second score was at least 67. It was an improvement, but still a horrible score.
