we stayed in houston until friday morning.early afternoon. i stayed with christian on thursday night. i know christian from russia (when i went on a mission trip in 2000). that was great, i hung out with her and her husband and mike and lang (i knew them from other visits). we sat around and told stories and laughed alot...which is inevitable with christian and me. i picked up joe from his friends house on friday morning and we started our trek to phoenix arizona. about 3 am, my handy travel partner couldnt drive anymore..poor tired lil guy...and we stopped in new mexico to figure out if i was going to drive MORE, or if we were going to sleep in the car or get a hotel. i have this tradition to buy a lottery ticket in every state i travel through and new mexico was not an exception...we WON 15 dollars, which pretty much made the decision to stay in hotel (cause we couldnt cash it in till at least after 7am..and it was only 3am!) we got into tempe arizona on saturday afternoon around 1:30pm. brandon is in tempe...i used to work with him at encore cafe. tempe is a really cool city. it is a college town and very hippy-ish, which i love. people were really cool and laid back. ARIZONA IS HOT. it was like 112* thats crazy hot!!! we went to some bars (some cool, some not)....dont worry, i didnt tie one on..i am not a big drinker.
the best part about the trip up to this point was that people were so great. everyone i met and stayed with was super hospitable. i felt like i knew them for long time, even though i had only just met most of them (i mean other than my friends).
write more later
