Road Trip, Day 8

Another beautiful day in the Mesa/Phoenix area!  We plucked some grapefruit from the tree for breakfast--oh, that heavenly smell!  There's a lot to be said for living in a climate where fruit trees grow.

My friends took me for a ride on their electric pontoon boat.  Totally silent.  Just wonderful.  They live on an artificial lake in a community Charles Keating built around 30 years ago.  Somehow or other, he convinced the local water authority to let him divert irrigation water to form his lakes.  Apparently it gets back into the irrigation system somehow.

We cruised around and looked at whatever everybody else on the lake is doing with their lakeside lots--a wide variation.  Also, some of the boats were still decorated from the Christmas parade.  That must be something to see.

Then I packed up and headed to my brother and sister-in-law's place in Sun City Grand.
