This morning Dennis and Cheryl picked us up again, this time to join them at their regular Wednesday square dance workshop. Caller Dwayne and his wife Shauna greeted us warmly. All the dancers made us feel very welcome.
We had six couples, so we tagged in and out, with everyone getting to dance quite a bit, since Dwayne didn't take many breaks himself. As Dennis and Cheryl had promised, Dwayne called an interesting and challenging dance, with some innovative positioning. We had lots of fun, as usual. Everyone was refreshingly open, and there was lots of discussion of the concepts Dwayne was working, including Beaus an Belles.
Afterwards we went to Subway and got some sandwiches for lunch. Then we went on to Costco, where our friends gave us a chance to pick up a few things we needed. We took the food home and stashed it before we all drove out to Snow Canyon State Park.
The views were spectacular, but it was extremely hot in the afternoon sun, so we didn't do much hiking. We did walk out onto the petrified sand dunes. The lines make fantastical patterns, ancient winds now frozen in rock. We saw a group from the nearby Red Mountain Spa out doing yoga on the dunes.
We drove over to Coyoto Gulch Art Village to visit with Joe Viers, who was tending shop at Zia Pottery, where he is one of the principal artists. He treated us to some iced coffee drinks at the Cafe, and we had a chance to chat. Unfortunately, he and Chris were not able to join us for dinner, since they had an HOA meeting to attend.
We went to the Pizza Factory and had some delicious hand-tossed pizza for dinner. Cheryl got the veggie, which looked like a great combination, even including broccoli.
At the end of the day we went back to Temple View and settled in to get a good rest before traveling tomorrow.
Ken Ulmer called, finally. He said to call Alan at Tuson and gave us his number. He still hasn't addressed our broken shade issue, and we haven't told him yet about the vacuum cleaner.
