Arizona!!!
Arizona was really fun. I wouldn't live there, but it's a great place to visit. I ended up seeing 4 of the people I studied with in Moscow, which is pretty awesome considering we're all from different states. Instead of describing everything to you, i'll post some pictures, as usual.
I stayed at Jen's parents' house. They live about a half hour from Pheonix, in a town called Gold Canyon.
Every house in Gold Cnayon looks the same. Imagine getting lost in this town.
We went on a walk and pretended to be cacti (which is the plural form of cactus, fyi)
i like this one
we climbed up some sort of rock formation. they call it "little dinosaur"
Pizza and beer. Kit and Jen.
Jen and Kevin playing checkers. Jen won for the first time in her life.
Gator the dog.
Getting ready in the "green room"
Judith and I eating Subway.
We're on our way to Tempe for the "Fiesta Bowl Block Party" which is basically the biggest New Years Eve party in AZ.
In Tempe, eating fried dough, or as they call it "Indian Fry Bread"
On some carnival ride at the block party.
We went to a free Vanessa Carlton/Third Eye Blind concert at the block party. It turned 2007 during this time.
The dude from Third Eye Blind. yeah, i already forget his name.
hot tubbin'
Strategically placed palm trees at the Arizona Mills mall.
Karaoke bar. Jen has a beautiful voice!
This plant attacked Kevin. Seriously, a piece broke off and attached to his leg while he was walking by.
At the Italian restaurant for Kevin's b-day.
Happy Birthday Kevin! (i was playing with the shutter speed to avoid using flash. i kind of like how it came out.)
View from the backyard. So beautiful.
First of three trips to the airport on the day we left.
