We started out the day slowly as usual but I had a mission.  The night before we went to heat up some lasagna and we put it in the microwave.  5 minutes later it was still cold.  Tried again.  No change.  Our microwave had bit the dust after only one year.  I went to the LazyDays RV center knowing that they weren’t able to help in a timely manner but I thought I would give it a try.  They were willing to try but it would have taken longer than we were going to be here.

We went to WalMart to pickup one so we had something until we get this one fixed under warranty when we return.  We actually got two.  One was small enough that I KNEW it would fit but the other was larger and MIGHT fit.  The larger did fit so we have a temporary microwave to use.

We weren’t sure what things we were going to do today until Scott and Stephanie, who we met at Alumafandango, invited us to head to Tubac just south of town.  Tubac is a small artsy area where there are many shops and restaurants to browse.  Today was a bit different.  It seems we happened to hit the town at the beginning of their Festival of the Arts.  It was much busier but also had much more to look at.  We had a nice lunch at a fancyish Mexican restaurant.

We got back to the Fiesta to join in Happy Hour which is a bunch of announcements and some giveaways.  I won a calendar of Dogs of the Iditarod (remember we love other peoples dogs).  Immediately afterward a local Karate group performed their maneuvers for us:

We went back to the trailer and used our microwave to heat up some leftovers and it WORKED!  Yea!

The ending performance was Alex and Charon, the Sword Swallowers.  We had heard of them many times but had never seen them until tonight.  It was a very weird and wonderful.  Alex hammered a nail into his nose and they both swallowed various swords.  The end ‘swallow’ was a neon tube and it lit up Alex’ throat.  Here is a gallery of shots from the night:

You definitely won’t find this at a WBCCI rally!

That’s all for tonight.
