Still adjusting to the time change, we were all up between 6:00 and 6:30. We enjoyed a shower and some breakfast and than went to Starbucks for a morning coffee and while we enjoyed that we decided to check out the Desert Botanical Gardens. The cactus were amazing to see. We did a lot of walking and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the different types of cactus. There were not to many in bloom any more but they were very nice to look at still. They had an Exhibition of Ofrendas which was a form of art honouring the dead. A little different. We even got to take some pictures of butterfly''s. We thought we were taking pictures of Monarchs, but they were Queen butterfly's. A cool thing we saw when we entered the gardens, was a piece of art from the Artist we saw in Seattle who made glass pieces of art. They had some glass pieces by the entrance before you walked in.
After the Desert Botanical Gardens we went for some lunch at Majerle's which was in Old Town Scottsdale. After lunch we walked through the town. There were lots of jewellery stores that contained a lot of pieces created by the Navaho's. Almost every store was a jewellery store. Grace and I felt almost like we were back in Alaska as it was much the same there to.
We got back to the condo and download our pictures. Lawrence had to move some files from the laptop unto the hard drive so I could download all the pictures. We took a lot today.
Finally we enjoyed a nice meal and we are looking forward to a good nights sleep again.
