Phoeniz, AZ: Arizona State University Campus Cruising


The weather here in Phoenix is beautiful. Technically we are in Tempe however it just seems like Phoenix. Especially when all of the surrounding communities blend with one another. The only way to know you have moved from one city/community to another is to look carefully for the signs along the road. Everything has grown together. Even Scottsdale & Phoenix have grown together. There used to be two separate communities but no more.

Regardless of any technical definition on which community are feet were touching, the weather transcends any lines on a map or signs by the road. It was perfect weather to relax and to enjoy the pool. This RV park is on the small size, as is the pool, however the water is cool & refreshing. I spent some time there last night and again this afternoon. Perfect. And the forecast for the rest of this week is for continued temperatures in the high 90's. Next week should return to temperatures in the mid-80's.

We drove around and through the campus of Arizona State University -- what a great campus. It's in the middle of Tempe, Arizona and the light rail system run right through the campus. Have not tried the light rail however it appears to be clean and well run. Best of all, some of the calls are specially designed to carry a bicycle so users can 'commute' from home to the rail terminal o work or where ever. Very cool!.

Picked up the girls from Sky Harbor International Airport around 9 pm Monday evening. It is so terrific to have them with us. On Tuesday we'll explore the Phoenix area before heading up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.

See Ya!
