We have now been back in Arizona over three weeks, and it seems like a lot longer. The transition was a tough one. Because of the daily heat we have to have different plans than we are used to. For instance, if we are going to the park or even the pool with Dylan we usually have to wait until after 6pm or so, otherwise the sun is too hot and it is no fun. In fact, if you go to the park anytime before dusk there is absolutely nobody there expect for a few homeless people. Not the most pleasant experience.
We did find an indoor place which is set-up like a small town, with a supermarket, a doctors office, a train, etc. Dylan loved it, I am thinking we might go back today, as it is already 102º out and will be up to 108º in the next couple of hours.
I have a couple of job prospects, although I am waiting for the final word. Hopefully I will be teaching at Paradise Valley Community College and Collins College this fall.
It is amazing how often Dylan references her adventures this summer: flying on an airplane playing on the beach and in the ocean, taking a shower at grandpa's house, playing at Ga and Nani's house, tes party at Grandma's. Sigh. Her life here is less exciting, but that is why they call these the dog-days of summer I guess. We are looking forward to this heat letting up soon and getting back into enjoying the outside.
Anyway, here are some random pics from the past week.
