Pheonix Airport
Today at the Conference. . .We started our trip in high green summer on the East coast and landed in the arid desert of Phoenix, Arizona. It was 112°F when we arrived in early afternoon. By the time we had driven the 140 miles and 7,000 feet altitude to Flagstaff it was a comfortable 86°F. We missed the opening ceremonies and had video camera failures in BOTH cameras, but the evening air was wonderful and the demonstration by________ and _________ was entertaining. So we will try again tomarrow. . . I DID manage to get a dozen or so digital photos that I'm posting at 6:00 am (what sleep).
