This afternoon we took our ride on the light rail system, which runs five blocks from us, then southeast to Mesa and northwest to some other place,. It's an hour ride around the whole system and a day pass for seniors costs $1.75. Very smooth, though it didn't pass a lot of places we wanted to stop and see.
We did get off and stroll around Mill Street in Tempe, near Arizona State University. As you might expect in a college town, eateries outnumbered just about every other kind of retail. Stopped into a frozen yugurt place but didn't really like their offerings, then into the ice cream sandwich shop next door. Really disgusting. Perhaps they were surprised when we left. Shouldn't be.
Back on the train, then up to the other end of the line. We stopped at a place a short walk from our condo called Cheuvront. Great happy hour, with serious martinis and an excellent slate of very tasty appetizers/small plates. We had Port Reyes blue cheese and roasted goat cheese/chicken pockets. Both were excellent. This place has now topped our happy hour list.
Friday we roll out early for the Tubac Art Festival, down near the Mexican border south of Tacoma.
Still haven't found a replacement bike. >:(
