Still Relaxing Along the Colorado River.....

Well, we are still just relaxing, and enjoying the wonderful Arizona winter weather.  There are a bunch of wild burros roaming this area, along the road and river.  They manage to cause traffic jams, since nobody really wants to hit one of these things.  Also, there seems to be a large population of baby burros.  They are so cute, and NO, the Ass on the right is not Steve....

We were told about Tommy's Paradise Friday All You Can Eat Fish & Chips, so of course we had to check it out.  We weren't impressed and will not be returning.  The locals seem to really like it, but we would rather go the the "Wooded Chicken" for their Fish & Chips.

Last weekend there were boat races on the river.  This is some kind of "CRAZY" boat racing.  The boats seem to be going about 100 miles an hour, and they are towing a slalom skier, with a 200 foot tow rope. Everybody are wearing helmets, and it looks like the skier is hanging on for dear life.  You won't see us trying this sport......

And the desert sunsets are absolutely beautiful.

So, that's about it for now.  We have 2 more days here, before heading up to Vegas for a couple of weeks, and then we plan to be back in the Portland area about April 7th.

Thanks for looking in on us.

Roberta and Steve
