We left Nebraska and headed west, trying to stay ahead of the winter weather that was on its way. We traveled through Great Bend, KS, the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas, and on through Albuquerque to the Valle del Oro RV Resort in Mesa. Sabrina drove over from LA to spend Thanksgiving with us
Her roommate Kim has family in Mesa and 
kept her company and helped with the driving in Sabrina's new car.
We visited the Phoenix Zoo and 
a large outdoor nativity scene, as well as discovering some great Ethiopian food at the Lalibela Cafe. 
In each of the last three years Roger has been invited to teach urology and neurology to physician assistant students at the Arizona School of Health Sciences. The PA students are excellent, selected for their motivation 
and interest in patient care and it is a pure delight for Roger to teach them and encourage them toward their goals. The faculty is likewise highly qualified and make wonderful colleagues for the time we are there.

and some faculty members.

love to hike, too, and we spent several days together on the trails.

We hiked up to the site of some Indian petroglyphs. 
We spent another great evening at a local pizza house with several of Roger's students from last year's class. It was a neat time of food and "catching up." 
(Yes, Meg's here, too, but with her parents at the next table over.) 
After a very pleasant three weeks visit in Mesa and a sendoff from my Aggie friend, we were off to Los Angeles and Christmas with Sabrina.
