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.
