First Full Day Back at Casa de La Quinta

Woke up this morning after sleeping on an actually comfortable bed for the first time since going up to the observatory, needless to say I was feeling very well rested! Went over to the lobby for some delicious waffles and more from the continental breakfast that I missed so much. After breakfast, we all headed out to the University of Arizona campus once again, this time, it was to visit the photography department building to see their current exhibitions. At the gallery, we saw an amazing collection of landscapes, portraits, and other brilliant photographs that showed fantastic artistic expertise. When our time on campus had concluded, we drove to a store called "Starizona" which featured an amazing inventory of fantastic astronomy products, such as high quality telescopes, various publications, and optical accessories, I was considering buying a Space-Pen, but I didn't want to spend $20.00 for a single pen. Later that night, Ryan and I met up with Melissa, Justin, Coty, and Eric at Touchdowns to watch the Packers destroy the Atlanta Falcons 48-21 to advance to the NFC Championship Game! It's unbelievable how just when this trip can't seem to get any better, something like this comes along that makes it even more incredible!
