Today we arranged to have Breakkfast with our friends ( Bob and Karen ) from Med Hat and another couple from Med Hat dropped in so the 6 of us spent about an hour and a half swapping stories while having breakfast. We are all leaving for home this week so they other two couples were talking about having enough room in their car for all their "stuff " and that it would take a few days to get organizedand packed. Then Bob ask me how long it took us to " Pack Up" and I said about 20 minutes; just a few min to close the slides and about 15 mins to hook up. He just shook his head.
After breakfast we decided to tour a small tourist town of Tubuc, about 20 miles away. This town is an Artsy/ Fartsy town with many many store selling Mexican pottery, real expensive pottery, high end Quilts ( I call $1500.00 Quilts as high end ) very expensive but hand made ladies clothes, Jewelry , Art and most anything else a tourist with money could want.
After 2 hours of looking at things we could never afford we decide to take a 2 hour Scenic drive thru the Desert and Mountains. Believe it or not the desert, althought seeming ugly, is actually very Scenic with many different specis of catus which are in various stages of flowering.
After a while we came upon a Border patrol check point which did not surprise me as we were very close to MX. With my " CANADA " licence plate on the front, they just waved me thru. Then I noticed we were actually going north and I knew we would have to find a road going west to get back home. So I told the " navagater" to plug in the GPS and get me heading towards home. She typed in " Diamond Desert Casino" which is 5 miles from home and apparently they were the only words she could spell. I guess "Green Valley Resort" was too hard to spell. Long story , short; we dropped into the casino long enough for Carroll to drop $20.00 and then we dropped another 20.00 for the Buffett supper.
We arrived home just in time to see the last end of the World Curling and we were happy that Switzerland won. It was now time to hit the Hot tub and swap stories with whoever else was soaking their old muscles. Amazing to us is that not many seniors use the Hot tub at night.
