Guess where I am...

I'm in Phoenix and had a wonderful day yesterday. Scott offered to give me his super awesome car so I could tool around the city while he was at work. After dropping him off I went back to his house and grabbed my workout gear and went to the gym to get a nice run in. Then I went to Whole Foods and spent time eating samples and oogling all the wonderfully beautiful produce. I grabbed a sandwich and some snacks and was off to hike Piestewa Peak. The veiw from the top was gorgeous and after a brief rest I headed back down.

After my hike my knee hurt a bit so I decided it was time to go shopping. I got a few odds and ends that I needed and headed to the grocery store.

Although there a was a grocery store next door to the Target I had been shopping at I decided to travel all the way down the road to another grocery store. It wasn't until I drove past the Target again that I saw the Fry's grocery store next door.

Anyway, I was at the grocery store when I ran into Elvis. I noticed him looking at the tomatoes and did a double take. He had the Elvis hair, the Elvis glasses, the Elvis sideburns and really did look like Elvis. I cast glances at him under the guise of trying to find the perfect zucchini. After a bit I got bored of the Elvis watching game and decided I had enough zucchinis and threw the bag in my cart. I wheeled my cart away to go get some tomatoes. At this point Elvis had moved on and I lost sight of him. I picked out a container of cherry tomatoes and began to maneuver my cart around the onion kiosk. I must turned a bit too sharp and instead of gracefully gliding around the sweet onions I ran head on into the potatoes. I looked up and there he was, looking at me and smiling. "Oops" I said to the King. He was silent for a moment and said, "You're dangerous with that cart." I smiled back and replied, "I sure am." Then after backing up a bit finally made it around the onions. I didn't see Elvis anymore after that but the memory of our encounter will always stay with me. It's not everyday you run into a King-In-Hiding in the store.

All in all my day yesterday was great. Today I'm going to go for a shorter hike and do some more shopping! I love Phoenix. I love my friends. I love being here so much. This weekend we are heading to Mexico and going to spend some time on the beach! Tonight we are going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3-D at the IMAX! This is shaping up to be a great trip so far.
