Marco and Polo and the Borroso Fighters

¡Hola! Marco and Polo here,

With a thirteen hour bus ride behind us and the possibility of cloudy and cold weather ahead of us we spent one last day relaxing, with Blondie, by the pool in the scorching Phoenix heat. Without the breeze off the Sea of Cortez the heat was nearly unbearable.  We found ourselves taking a dip in the pool every twenty or so minutes so that we wouldn't melt.  In between our frequent trips into the water there was lots of reading and much snacking happening poolside.  It was a simple and relaxing way to spend our last morning/afternoon of our vacation.



When the heat became too unbearable to stay out we returned to our room to solve the great internet mystery.  With our belated blog post published we took some time to catch up on our favorite TV show Psych, it just celebrated its one hundredth episode, (WOOOO!!!).

Psych finished with just enough time for us to meet with the rest of the gang for dinner.  We all pilled into a giant creeper van (clown car style) for the drive to Rustler's Roost (a.k.a. Tex's version of heaven).  This place was insane: it had a live band, a dance floor, a slide, and a pet bull named Horny (we think this is unfortunate)...  Dinner consisted of bread rolls and biscuits, salad, steak, green beans, and corn.  The meal was completed with a childhood favorite for desert, cotton candy (Doc apparently really enjoys his cotton candy).  After some great photo opts we all pilled back into our creeper van to return to the hotel.





Our final day of vacation ended with a rousing game of 'Travel Tetris', a game which Polo is a master of (if she does say so herself).  Our check bag weighted in at 38 lbs, this gave us enough room and weight allowance to help Blondie with some of her things as well.  Another day gone and one step closer to Michigan (not that we are ready to go back)..

¡Quédate un empollón!
