Desert Botanical Garden
This morning we got up and had our coffee and then headed over to the
Desert Botanical Garden on the outskirts of Phoenix. We have been here once before and have wanted to come back ever since. It's a fantastic Botanical Garden, maybe the best in the US. If there is a better one I want to see it. Apparently I didn't take many photos. I guess I was too into all the cool cactus and birds. We will be back and I will take more photos.

| Currently there is an awesome Fernando Botero tie in with some of his statues and a gallery with his paintings. I had never seen his paintings so this was very cool. Sadly he passed just before the exhibit opened. |

| Man with Guitar - Fernando Botero |
I really enjoyed seeing the Botero paintings and learning more about him. We have seen works by him during our travels but it was nice seeing a collection all together.
Captain's Cabin Tiki Bar
Later in the evening we met up with Sophie and Josh and went to
Captain's Cabin, a tiki bar within Hula's Modern Tiki Bar. We had some good drinks, some good laughs, and a great basket of French Fries.

| We were 2nd in line. It is a tiny space so we wanted to get there just before opening. |
