Day 2
Day 2 of the GREAT EPIC AMERICAN ROAD TRIP, YEAH, began with the discovery that some brands of soy milk, become soy yogurt. Note : the brand was not Silk. Good thing Erin brought a backup. The backup brand was Silk. (We are in no way affiliated with Silk brand products).
We packed the car and decided to take the scenic route through Sedona, instead of mountain biking. Neither of us had slept well. There seemed to be a common thread between us involving barking, black dogs, and canine shenanigans.
Sedona was super pretty (Pics soon)!
After coffee in Sedona, we realized that we needed to get going, because Erin had an interview at 4:00pm for a new job at the University of Arizona, and we smelled like and looked like dirty hippies, not that that is a bad thing, but, unlike the evolutionists and ecologists, biochemists and biophysicists tend to frown upon poor hygiene, since their whole world involves sterilization and cleanliness.
We drove through the Center of the Sun, AKA Phoenix. We then arrived on Mercury, AKA Tucson. Fortunately temps on Mercury were a mere 102, instead of the blistering 106 at the Center of the Sun
We set up camp, showered and headed to the University. Erin was giving Izzy the practice spiel of her experience for the interview, which Izzy found quite interesting, even though he only caught about half of it (Erin says three quarters). Izzy dropped Erin off.
Izzy went to work on house stuff, the google phone stopped being so awesome. The heat took its toll on the computers and phone, and he got little work finished.
Erin went to the awesome guy’s lab. The awesome is guy is really awesome. He went from 2nd choice to 1st choice for the possible job positions. Here is to keeping our fingers crossed that Erin gets the position.
We went back to our little Mercury camp at Catalina State Park (filled with fire ants) had yummy portabella mushroom sandwiches and arroz con mariposa.
Hasta Luego,
