Arrival to Valle Del Oro, Mesa, Arizona & more pics from Bryce & Zion Nat'l Parks

   We've had such a wonderful time visiting some of the most beautiful national parks.  Although we hope to return again someday, there are so many other beautiful places in the U.S.A. yet for us to explore first.
   We had originally planned to arrive in Mesa January 1st, but made the decision to arrive November 2nd. This will give us options to visit areas within a few hours of Mesa. It feels nice to be grounded in one place for a while. Valle Del Oro is such a beautiful, luxurious resort. We're so thankful to have this opportunity.

   There is so much to offer here and so far the weather is great! Tomorrow Bill will go through the 3 hour orientation in the Wood Shop so that he can continue with one of his favorite hobbies. I may go to the fitness center tomorrow, Zumba Thursday and we'll both join the hiking club Friday. We're both interested in the Lapidary(Gemstones & Jewelry) classes and Silversmith among many others. There's many interesting shows to choose from, as well as happy hour with bands by the pool.
   I've added more pictures from Bryce Canyon. We'll add more from Arizona as we get them.
