\n<\/a>On the weekend when Chris’s parents were here, we decided to take them out to see the desert. We started with what one could think of as desert-lite,\u00a0Papago Park<\/a>, a park that is in both Tempe and Phoenix that has a variety of types of local plant life represented:<\/p>\n

We also re-visited the grave of one of the most popular governors of Arizona who was so loved he got his own pyramid:

We went to lunch at a fairly swish place called Fogo de Ch\u00e3o, which is a Brazilian steakhouse.\"2016-04-24<\/a>It is a chain, though actually quite a pricey but amazingly delicious chain. We had all previously been to the Minneapolis restaurant and this one was fortunately just as good. Highly recommended if you like beef and\/or Brazil.<\/p>\n

After what was a truly huge lunch, we decided to go sow them\u00a0a wilder part of the desert in Mesa.\u00a0
