Gila Bend. March 10

-
We have already driven this highway but going the other direction. The change from Decenber to now is amazing. Suddenly it seems the desert is green, yellow, orange, and blue. Trees that were looking dead in December have now come alive. There is yellow creeping up the sides of the .mountains (big hills). Can't all be the Rockies I guess. Along the road sides more yellow a couple different kinds, orange on longish stocks and swarms of smallish blue. This is the stretch were there are Organ Pipe cactus.     🌵🌵🌵

We arrived in Gila Bend whose claim to fame is that there's a 90° bend in the Gila River. We are staying in a private RV park. It's more trailer court than RV park. Nonetheless a place to park and rest our weary bones. 
As boring as it seems to us the kids seem to enjoy the view.

Our Crazy Train went to the centre of the universe! I had new glasses to pick up and Dave seemed to be impatient to leave. Finally he admitted he had a surprise for me. So off we went and I had no idea where we were going.  Low and behold we ended up at the giant golf ball on top of the mountain.  Yes the observatory. It has a working telescope and is one of two  Dominion Astrophisical Observitories. First opened in 1918.  And there were tours.   Model of the Telescope  The Actual Telescope

It's still 🔥🔥🔥. Went for a walk saw these. Walked to the pharmacy for this. Because this And this. Bought a day  late! Spent the rest of the day in  the shade. Day drinking and eating. I love all inclusive resorts. The bartender ran after me to return my sandals.  In the evening we went for our specialty dinner. We had  Shrimp Salad to start. A little short on shrimp but amazing presentation. Next soup. Dave had Pumpkin and  I had Lime. Simply named but both exquisite. Main. Dave had the Fish and I had the Chicken. Dave loved his said it was spicy. Mine unbelievable. Chicken breast stuffed with spinach with a slightly sweet sauce and pureed carrot. We chose the coffee mousse for dessert and they played Happy Birthday when they they served Dave's. They lite the candle at the table.                   🌞🌞🌞
