Day 6 - Surprise, AZ

Started the day with another attempt a making the elusive Bloody Mary. With the addition of a little more lime today score a little higher, but not yet up to Neal's standard. Breakfast was cold cereal and toast on the patio. Not a bad way to start the day.

First stop was at Starbucks for a drink and WiFi. The place was packed with old people, including us. Actually managed to get a photo posted after figuring the Blogger App.

Next up was a drive into Phoenix to check out the Costco. This seems like quite a drive from where we want to live, but it's actually only about 5 miles further than we drive now. Next door is the Arrowhead Mall, which we made our way through without a purchase.

Lunch time found us at On The Border to share a chicken quesadilla and Dos Equis. Ok, I didn't share the XX. While at lunch I checked Google for my ex-employer and found they were only 2.8 miles away. After 33+ years there was only one person I wanted to see and that was the lady who was man best man when Barb and I got married.Yes, I said lady.

We then headed for the original Sun City and drove past my folks old house. And old is the right word. Really old. Then we stopped at the church to visit the garden where their ashes were spread.

Last up we checked out golf carts. Golf carts are everywhere in Sun City and are a must when heading up to the club for lunch or scooting off to that morning Bocce Ball game. I'm told you can even use them for golf. Electric models cost everywhere from $3,500 to $10,000, with looking like new refurbished ones in the lower range. Equipped with headlights, turn signals and license plates they are street legal. If we end up here I will have one.

We tried sitting out on the patio with a drink, but a dry 100° is still hot.
