I've finally defined the AZ attitude. It's a bit like being in OZ - a little removed from reality. We feel blessed that we have the opportunity to enjoy retirement this early in life. While at Emerald Cove, we spend mornings in the pool, have lunch at the bar and then wander over to sit on the beach next to the trailer. Or we head out on the quads. We’ve been all over the desert and have found several mines. We also visited the Angel monument to an 11 year old boy who died while digging a sand cave near the river. His dad put a stainless steel angel on the top of a tall ridge as a monument. It was a haunting monument and kind of sad. While on the quads, we’ve seen a couple of wild donkeys which can be found all over the area. Mostly we hear them, but a couple of them have been spotted watching us from the top of the hills. In the distance, we’ve seen mountain sheep and on the first night we heard very loud howling of coyotes.
Sitting on the beach is definitely the best place here. It’s busy this week because of the long weekend and there are many families. The karaoke has been frankly terrible, but apparently everyone else seems to enjoy it. Unfortunately, we're too close to the pool bar so we get to listen to bad karaoke loud and clear. Tomorrow we move out to the desert for 11 days so we may not have internet to update this blog.
