San Xavier - Mission






Jay and I had a beautiful day visiting Tucson and the San Xavier Mission. We were so brave as to experiment for lunch. We were delightfully surprised and satiated. :)

Scottsdale/Phoenix






Gordon's show was very well received and we all had a good time.

This time we dined at Malee's (Four Times), The Rokery, Tico'z, & Oreganos. Oregano's as usual was FAB - the pizza is absolutely my favourite. Tico'z came highly recommended by Doug at The Royal Villa - the servings were gigantic, serivice was attentive and friendly - there is an attached bar - all very fun. The Rokery turned out to be very good, they were having a Dinner for two special - ours included a Porterhouse Steak - huge and juicy, accompanied by a potato suffle, and three veggies - and believe it or not it also included a Salad. When we got there - we were going to have to wait eventhough we had reservations - the owner was there and placed us in a private room - good friends, good food and lots of nectar flowing... Malee's this time proved to be our faithful and convenient restaurent - located on Main Street - Scottsdale and next door to the Gallery (Joan Cawley Gallery) - I will say that each time I had somthing different and each time it proved to be excellent - Excellent Shrimp Satay, The Pla - YUMM fish plate, Stir Fry. ONe evening we decided to share desserts - at Marilynn's insistence - WOW they were yummy my favourite was the Sticky Brown Rice with Custard -mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The night life too was decidely "amazing" - made new friends and enjoyed old ones.

Looking forward already to our next trip there.
