We woke about 6 and chris was already up. He gave us a tour of his amazing gardens.. he raises all sorts of succulents ts..and recycles every bit of water in the house to keep them growing. Their gardens , like their house, are so pleasing and welcoming..

We got to meet their resident tortoise as well

Diane and I went for a short hot run.. it was in the high 70s already.. (it was 112 by the time we dropped the car in phoenix)

Then we had a nice slow breakfast with chris and wendy.. it is so nice to spend time with them

We then packed up, said goodbye and headed north

The road to phoenix was long and hot.. diane read to us again which made it fun.our first destination was the musical instrument museum. Its a must see !

Its the worlds largest collection of musical instruments from all over the world…. they give you headsets so that you hear the instruments as you approach the display.. we spent. 2 hours there.. but could have spent much longer

Aroudd 4 we left the museum and headed back to boho to return our trusty stevie..

We had such a great time with tht van.. it was comfortable and convenient .. we loved the entire trip.

Brett and dave at noho were so great to work with.. we highly recommend renting from them.. you should too ! It was such a great experience !

Now at the airport and waiting for our midnight flight.. and its only 110 degrees !

What a great trip !

Nite all, nite sam
