4th Ave Street Fair

Saturday was a day full of sun and friends and lots of walking.

Lola was up at 7:00am and couldn't sleep any longer so she watched tv while Arizona Adam sleep a few hours more.  

Once AA got up we headed to breakfast. And then packed up and headed into the city. First stop was to see the rattlesnake bridge.

It was pretty neat, except for the homeless guy at the head end.  The tail even made rattling sounds when you walked through the end.  What a neat way to incorporate the nature into the bridge!  Haven't seen any real ones yet, but maybe that will be part of today's adventure.

After the bridge we headed to university of Arizona to check out the campus and bookstore.
And of course find the engineering building.


Then to the highlight of the day, the 4th Avenue Street Fair.  We went to this last year when Lola came for a visit.  First things first we got some Fair food.
Adam had a sausage while Lola tried to attempt to eat all those potato chips.  And of course the Arnold Palmer (iced tea and lemonade).  The coolest part about the fair is you can just drink beer/wine on the street.

As we were sitting enjoying our food, Adam looks over and sees his former coworker, and friend Jason and his fiancé Katie (who he usually hangs out with when he is down here). So he goes over, and says hi, they come over to join us and then we spend the rest of the day together with them!

We walked around the fair 2 times stopping and buying a few things. (We bought way less than Jason and Katie but that Is because we have to fly home...)

There were lots if people but we had a great time, and got a little bit of sun!

After the fair we went to The Hub with Jason and Katie, and went to visit their new place.  The city lights from their place was amazing.  We didn't stay long as Katie is a nurse and had been working nights, so had been up for over 24 hours.
Here is the view as we drove back to the hotel. (Not a great photo as Adam took it with his phone)

Well we are about to head out for the day. Checking out breakfast, Mount Lemon and Collousal Caves.

Time to put on the sunscreen!
