Phoenix, AZ

What a recovery day! After our talk at the University of Arizona we pulled into a little piece of heaven or more properly a little piece of the promised land at the Jewish Center of the Valley of the Sun.  After a couple of nights in wrestling rooms and a church basement floor this place was exactly what the team needed.  We all worked on our tans by the outdoor pool, hit the weights in the gym then headed for the sauna and hot tubs (aka a real "schvitz" for my Columbus crew).  Tonight we went to a hole in the wall (my favorite kind of place) family run Italian joint and got all carb loaded up for our 96 mile trek to Picacho Peak state park. Can't wait to get back on the road.  No Chain!

Suns out, Guns out?

Underwater pictures, kids our age shouldn't have this much fun with a camera.
