Day 20: Lake Havasu, AZ

Day off today, and it went great! We all slept in till about 7 (although it felt much later), and were offered a feast of a breakfast by the local Knights of Columbus. While at breakfast, I was given a newspaper and realized I was on the front page shaking an officer's hand. My first time in the paper that wasn't for high school basketball (which to be honest wasn't too often). Everyone throws food at us here in Lake Havasu; I could get used to it. Afterwards, we hung out and had a wonderful friendship visit making cards at the New Horizons Center. A lot of the clients were at our banquet last night, and everyone had a grand time. We then had a little free time before an all-afternoon pool party/BBQ (I left my phone at the aquatic center, so that's probably why you didn't here from me, mom). The ribs were finger-lickin' good. And after catching some rays, I caught the Walker Texas Ranger Marathon with my British teammate. Needless to say, he's a huge WTR fan. I plan on taking him to the bar they hang out at in the show; it's in the Fort Worth Stockyards, one of my favorite places. Lake Havasu has been more than gracious and hospitable when it comes to making the South Route Team feel at home. We will miss Havasu!
