Arizona greeted us with sandstorms, 120 degree temperatures,
and some of its lovely scenery, which is to say it made us want to leave.
But we had just arrived. So, we kept driving to our first
stop, the home of my step-mother Blanche. Though we had the air conditioner
cranked to 11, heat bled in through the metal skin of the car until there was
just a small pocket of breathable air towards the center – what we called “comfort”.
When we saw Blanche, she said she could feel heat coming off
our bodies – so much for the air conditioning – and we ended up just spending
time in her living room, under the cool vents of her air conditioning.
But then, dinner came and we drove to a place called…
The great thing about Joe’s is that even though they were
busy – and they were busy – they were still helpful and the food was good and
the service was great. What’s not to like? On top of that, the portions were so
amazing we had to leave food at the table.
Hold on.
Look at me.
This is not a boy who leaves food lightly. Okay?
We had a great visit with Blanche. It was just so lovely to
see her after so many years apart.
Sadly, though, we were back on the road the next day,
continuing east along the 60 to Show Low and then along the 36 to El Malpais
National Monument… Fun!
