May 11 – Phoenix

Started the day with a relaxing breakfast that included some of the best gluten free pancakes I have ever had. We were at the Cafe Tryst near our hotel and we enjoyed eating outside before it got too hot here.

We went to the Heard Museum and learned a lot about Southwestern Native tribes and people.  The jewelry, pottery and baskets we spectacular. Travel note, if you are visiting someone who lives in Phoenix and you want to go to one of the many museums, have them get a Culture Pass from the Phoenix Library.  These are good for admission for two. There is a limit at each branch and they are good for 7 days. This tip saved us $27 at the Heard. Afterwards we went to an Indian restaurant near the Paradise Valley Mall called Marigold Maison.

Finished the day with a belated birthday dinner and one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, El Encanto in Cave Creek.  This is the original one and is very charming.  The margaritas are great and so is the food.  We had a nice table next to the pond inside the restaurant.
