... many of the snowbirds have arrived yet. Saw a small herd of wild burros on the way outside of Q'zite. They were the first wildlife we'd come upon in many- a-mile. Our site here at the Park is quite nice with lots of room to spread out and enjoy the weather here this winter.

Saturday 20 June 2009<br><br>A short driving day, we started out with lunch after laundry. Our second Road Food pick was Mrs. White&#8217;s Golden Rule Café, a modest diner with whitewashed concrete walls adorned throughout with signatures and well-wishers&#8217; notes written in black Sharpie.
