No, it wasn’t shopping that took us to the mall.  It was a sidewalk chalk art festival.  There was some beautiful work.  My favorite was of local wildlife: coyote, cactus wren, a desert cottontail, and a quail.  The Phoenix was pretty cool too.

Garbanzo, a Mediterranean food place, beckoned us in for dinner.  Kent tried a classic gyro and I tried falafel on a pita with all its sauces and stuff.  Not sure how authentic it was but it was tasty.  If the chain is around you, try it.
