Concert

The Paul McCartney concert was awesome - he did several songs he's never done before in North America which made it even more special. Really enjoyed myself. Well worth the trip. As it always is! Wrestlemania was on at the stadium beside the Jobing.com arena so I traveled out to Glendale on the bus with a bunch of wrestling fans. That was interesting. One couple even flew over from Scotland...oh well I can't say a word!! :) I had to take a taxi back which cost almost as much as a night's accommodation but I got back to my room safe and sound and that is the main thing. Before the concert I visited the Heard Museum which has a lot of Indian artifacts and was fascinating. Next time I would like to visit it without having to be somewhere else afterwards. I was amused to see an Inukshuk standing outside the museum with a palm tree behind it. I bet all the other Inukshuks are jealous!!! Stupidly I had thought the museum opened at 9 on Sunday..duh not until 11:3

Phoenix was great fun - I'd go back if circumstances worked that way. (eg: doing the half marathon down there in January) But I could not see myself ever going there for the winter. I enjoyed staying downtown - the Budget Lodge was very clean and central and the price was definitely right for my "budget"!!! The public transit worked for me most of the time - loved their light rail - new, clean and very efficient. I was able to take it to and from the airport which certainly helped with costs. I could get a day pass for public transit which cost $3.50 - can't beat the price. Of course it meant sitting around waiting for busses but I am a patient person and it was no problem - I enjoyed chatting with the locals. Met all sorts. I managed to get on a tour to Sedona wh
