Coffee Tasting


Tired of the California lockdowns, Alana and I took a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona.  We found a gigantic mall where we shopped and shopped and shopped.  We ate at some delicious restaurants including Buca di Beppo, Lolos Chicken and Waffles, and Abuelos Mexican.  We were thrilled to actually eat inside a restaurant again!  We visited Northwest Apostolic Church to hear Pastor Ken Winkler preach.  He and sister Winkler were very kind to us as was their church family.  The following day we decided to hike.  I lasted a whole hour.  It was so hot and I had not brought nearly enough water for the treck.  You really need good hiking shoes in Arizona.  The terrain is so rocky that good ankle support is a must.  We visited Medieval Times Scottsdale but I must say, our Medieval Times Castle in California is a bit more elaborate.  We enjoyed the dinner and show nonetheless.  On our last day we explored Old Town Scottsdale, a cute touristy area with some fun coffee shops.  It was a successful trip and I would love to return!  Thank you, good neighbor Arizona for being so freedom-loving!
