Seemed strange to wake and not put bike clothes on, but that didn’t mean we were skipping breakfast.  We headed down the street to a delicious breakfast shop and apparently the locals place to eat.  The people watching was as fascinating (sorry no photos) as the food was amazing (fried eggs on Ciabatta with bacon, tomato and Gorgonzola cheese).

Later, we strolled the quiet streets and were surprised to see very few people and even less cars; but bike lanes were everywhere.

The last couple of days, we have been struck by how clean the entire Phoenix area is, not to mention creative,quirky and fun.

On our way to dinner we learned that next week is ASU’s finals week, so the students were obviously locked down and studying note the cases of beer.

The rest of the students were letting off steam at this locals bar equipped with Jinga, Cornhole, Baseball and Beer.

 Inspired, we stopped for a Margarita on the way to dinner.  Knowing we could not hang without food and Ummm hydration, we found the perfect remedy……yes, we are eating as if we biked 100 miles today.  The icing on the cake, homemade ice cream.  Tomorrow we leave civilization and any evidence of good food, so we were stocking up……that is our story and we are sticking to it!
