We headed off to Papago Park, a small park and collection of rocks in the heart of Phoenix, beside the Desert Botanical Garden and the Phoenix Zoo. We did consider going to the Botanical Gardens but at $30 each it seems quite steep to see cacti. Papago Park was a pretty park and designed for local conditions, no grass but lots of covered picnic tables. They had formed a few small lakes, surrounded them with palm trees and you could go fishing. You can hear the zoo and the monkeys going off. They have the local attraction called ‘Hole in the Rock’, which as the name suggests is a rock with a hole in it.
Next stop was Cowtown Boots, I thought it would be good to get a pair of cowboy boots. They had lots, but as I have fat feet, I couldn’t fit into most of them. The few that I could fit in, I didn’t like. So, after about an hour, we gave up.
We’ve spent the afternoon doing some more planning for the rest of our time in the USA and to do some laundry.
