I took T. to breakfast and made him waffles; I brought a bagel with peanut butter back for A., and coffee for R. I remembered to bring my own teabag this time.

We packed up and checked out.

We drove to Kingman, AZ, where we got gas, then a bit further down 40 but still in Kingman, we had lunch at McDonald's. Then on to the Sonesta ES in Flagstaff. Crazy windy; we got in around 2 p.m. or so.

From Vegas to the turn off to West Rim, the desert looks pretty good. Not any visible grazing, lots of green, the yuccas are tall and have branching and look gorgeous. After that, more grazing, more grass, more beat up looking. Santa Claus, AZ is for sale. Kinda curious what Golden Valley, AZ is. We did not stop at Hoover Dam, may on the way back.

T. went to the fitness room. T. and R. did laundry. We all snacked and R. had a beer. I had a decaf tea. It was nice to stop moving for a while; the wind moved the van around a fair amount and with the altitude that made me feel like I was still moving when we got out. Outdoor pool here, too -- I should work on my hotel research a bit more I think.

I have maintained a 12 day Duolingo streak for Spanish and Dutch.

We had dinner at Beaver Street Brewery. Decent Sazerac (mine is better), excellent Manhattan. Good beer. Loud and crowded, but no wait. I had the hummus plate, and I was breathing garlic pretty much all night.
