Ok people. This weekend was pretty interesting and long. Friday we found out that if the government shut down, we would have to pack up everything and head back to Denver (which is a 2 day trip for most people) until the government came back up. This was a good test as to how much I've grown being in the program because the old me would have FREAKED out and packed and worried and stressed over everything. I ignored everything everyone was saying about it, I didn't pack, I just knew that it was out of my control and when someone told me we were leaving, I'd pack and do it because that's what I would have to do. So officially at like what, 9pm we found out we were in the clear and that didn't surprise me at all. So I'm glad to know that being in a program like this where I should be expecting the unexpected at all times I'm a much calmer and more collected person. Pretty excited.
So because we didn't have to start trecking back to Denver we had a Community Build planned but, hmm it rained and was only 55 degrees here!!!! So we left at 6:45 am to go see if it was still happening or not, a 30 minute drive later we were told that it had been cancelled. On one hand I was pretty bummed because I loved doing the last community build, but on the other hand after such a long day Friday I think most everyone was excited to have the time off! So we had a full weekend because otherwise we would have only had Sunday off! So I went and spent most of my day at Starbucks (after a 2 hr nap of course) and was able to finally catch up on some shows! LOVED Grey's Anatomy...but anyway....then we went on our weekly fast food adventure this time to In & Out burger...wasn't impressed but I don't think i was in a mood for gross unhealthy fast food that night!
Sunday was fantastic, we had a trip planned to go to the Sonora Desert Museum which is just west of Tucson. I love love love these kind of museums! It is partially a zoo and has a bucnh of different displays about everything about the desert! I will put pictures up on facebook the next time I go to Starbucks cause the internet is too slow here to do anything with them! After that we went searching for some lunch and we found this absolutely delicious Greek restaurant named "Opa!". They thought we were University of Arizona students and said we get free fountain drinks, so we took them up on that, and then they brought out a plate of pita with hummus and tziki! Just like mexican restaurants give you chips and salsa for free! We were pretty excited by all the free things we had been recieving! Then my friend Louise order flaming cheese, i forget what the cheese is called but the table next to us ordered it, and they bring the cheese out on this huge platter, and then set it on fire in front of you and it makes a huge flame! So that intrigued her enough to buy one and it was absolutely delicious. Then I order a gyro cause I have been craving one ever since I was eating one in Morocco in Epcot at Disney World last August. It was soooooo good and hit the spot. It was a great price too so I would definitely go back there if I were ever in Tucson again! Then we went down to an area with some shops and walked around, and it's a very cool area with a bunch of bars, coffee shops, thrift stores, I would also love to go back there too!
So as you can see it was a busy, exhausting, and exciting weekend for me! And today we got back up on the trail and the temperatures are slowly rising, we had 79 degrees today, 84 tomorrow and should reach 92 by Friday! I'll get all nice and tan for those of you that I see in almost one week!!! And I had a crazy realization that I get to eat as much Red's as I please when I come home and I can't wait to bite into a chipper!! NOM and I've got all my meals planned out so I can go to my favorite places, Amatos, Otto, Margaritas, Thai food, possibly Clambake if they're open, and of course Red's! SO excited. But for now I'm going to go relax in the sun! Will add pictures soon!
