At last a day off…..
I just did a little sports clothes shopping myself this morning before going to Linda’s in the afternoon and spent some time in the gym
Well I said goodbye to my lovely hostess and it was an uneventful almost six hour drive in to Arizona and my destination, Tucson. All on the interstate which is not my normal or favorite route!
I went to Linda’s house and we visited…we have known each other over twenty years and are great friends and I always stop by and we have great visits……I met her and Guy in Mexico and they are the ones responsible for getting me to come visit them in San Miguel and the rest is history.
Linda found this great restaurant and wanted to take me there, despite it’s name, Grumpy, it was a wonderful family diner and we both had chicken fried steak which was awesome!!
I dropped Linda off at home and then came to my casita for the next five days, a lovely little quiet place close to the base of the mountains, very cute and comfortable!!
Stay safe and healthy!!

My last day in the desert started out with pickle ball this morning at 7.30am and
then came home and had breakfast and went to the stadium for my last shift of the tournament…..
It was a really hot day and I saw two great finals and two new champions crowned…….
The other photo is of Stella and her daughter Caron at the match
Afterwards I went over to their home for dinner and a game of dominoes!!
It truly has been a time I shall never forget I had to wait because of Covid for two years but so worth the wait and I already have booked my casita for next year!!!
Tomorrow I slow start my return journey to Mexico driving to Tucson to visit with my lovely friend Linda for five days …I already have a small apartment booked there!!
stay safe and healthy!!!
Yashi Koch!!

Stay Safe And Healthy!!

The take of two Spaniards!!
Day off today and I spent the morning playing pickle ball and the after and evening at the tennis courts.
First I watched the best male tennis player on the planet set aside the bad boy of tennis……remember Rafa is 35 years of age!!
The next match on the same court two hours later featured another Spanish man, or shall we call him kid…….he is in my opinion the next big one….Carlos Alcaraz, demolish the defending champion….
this result means is that these two men will meet in the semi finals on Saturday!!
I met the girls and we went and watched the mens doubles as you can see we moved down to court side seats!!
Stay safe and healthy and hope you all enjoyed Paddy’s day!!
Yashi Kochi!!
Here is a summary of my day…..
I worked a day shift at the stadium and watched three amazing matches!!!
Then after work I decided to stay for the evening session and watched two more fabulous games!!
Do I look happy!!!
The view from my seat!!
Stay safe and healthy!!

Another lovely day in the desert….I actually had a day off today and Caron had arranged a game of tennis this morning at their community courts....
I have really enjoyed playing pickle ball but it was nice to get back on the tennis courts, especially when it is followed by breakfast and a soak in the hot tub!!!
Came home and did some laundry and then watched a live soccer game from England!!
There were a couple of night matches I wanted to see so I went to the stadium tonight, we still get a parking pass and an entry pass on our days off and I found one of the good seats to watch tennis behind the service line and thorough enjoyed my evening!!!
Stay safe and healthy!!
Yashi Kochi!!
