Hanging Out in Phoenix

Once back to Phoenix we hung out at Tracey and Anjan's again.

Anjan spent the month while we were there on a surgical rotation as part of his medical internship training. It was interesting to listen to his day's activities. Tracey was pretty busy with her veterinarian work but she had a number of days off that we enjoyed doing things together or just hanging out at the house.

I did a little work around the house and mowed the yard as below. Getting in practice for May back home.


















I read about a local car show and went out to that and saw some fine specimens.




A Ford GT.
















































With the weather so nice and having read about the great fishing at Lake Pleasant just north of Phoenix I bought a 5 day license and spent a few days trying my luck. All I can say is that those were expensive fish that I didn't catch.

The side benefit of going to Lake Pleasant to fish was that it gave us time to enjoy the emerging spring around the mountains. The mountains had gone from brown to green while were in Arizona and the wildflowers and cactus were just beginning to bloom. Someone said that we should hang around for another month to enjoy it more. Maybe next year.
