Recharging in Mesa

Saturday 25th October Mary Lou and Roger went to a friends son’s wedding whilst we took “Old Blue” the blue Oldsmobile to meet up with Mike, Maria and friends who took us “tailgating” before the Arizona via Oregon football match. Quite a different atmosphere this time, much closer to the field but more difficult to see as the stadium was not as steep and barracking for the under dogs this time but these supporters have tremendous spirit. We had a fun time with great company.
Sunday 26th October Caught up with the rest of the washing and went to the “Swap Meet” which is like the Queen Victoria Markets. We had another “Costco” experience and a "Walmart" experience too. These shops are huge and most products at Costco come in bulk. To give you an idea of how inexpensive food is here, even with our dollar in the toilet it is still cheaper to buy groceries at these stores than it would be at home!
