Climbing the Camel
I slept in this morning, that felt good. We basically got up in time to meet Chip and his wife for lunch at Waldo’s BBQ @ 11a. Chip was late, but we were enjoying the decor too much to notice. We had very good food to accompany the conversation. There was some difference in how I thought Chip would look/talk/act, the difference between his “digital self” and reality. Same thing with Jerrid and Jeffrey and others I’ve recently met face-to-face after an extended digital relationship.After lunch, Joy’s parents went to a dealership to rent a car (I had no idea such thing could be done). Joy and I napped on the bed in a RV for quite a while during the business transaction, very refreshing. I drove a new Toyota 4Runner out of the lot. The thermostat showed 101 degrees at the peak of the day. I brought Joy and Ardel to Mystery Castle, returned to Sieu’s to pick up my father-in-law, then we headed to Camelback Mountain.
We stopped at Havana Cafe and enjoyed a Cuban cuisine. We also enjoyed some tasty beverages. From there, Joy and I hiked part way up the mountain, taking some pictures. We came back very late, time to wind down. Tomorrow, we’re going to Arcosanti.
