Arizona State University Campus Grounds Tempe Arizona
Time to recall the happenings of day 7 of my trip to #AZ. Which again was very eventful it was a day dedicated to explore the #Phoenix area.7:21 PM Aug 20th from web
So I started the day with a great hearty American breakfast eggs, pancakes, OJ, & coffee which were complimentary of the @ChaparralSuites Yamm!
I liked that it was different from the usual breakfast buffet that we usually get offered in hotels.
I sat there at my breakfast table and brought with me all the brochures and activity magazines of the area to try to find out what to do.
I tore out all the places I was interested in going to. The most important to me was that I needed to see #Tempe because it was where I was born.
Now I had to decide on transportation and for that I needed the internet to plan out the route and the means of transportation. I found it!
Going back to day seven of my trip which I got cut off a few days ago. I had stopped when I needed to find transportation for the day. about 13 hours ago from web
I found it searching the net when I got back to my room on this site http://www.valleymetro.org Public Transportation Greater Phoenix Area.
An all day pass if you get it from a station or a station vending machine it costs $3.50 and on-board bus costs $5.25 including "light rail"
Torn pages of places I want to see in hand, a plan for transportation in hand; I was out to start my sightseeing day.

In #Phoenix there are museums to be seen. I will be talking about all the main attractions in Phoenix in a more detailed blog post later on.
http://twitpic.com/f6e8b - After seeing #Phoenix it was time to head back to #ASU #Tempe campus and sight see the area.
http://twitpic.com/f6ev3 - On these grounds was where my father studied at #ASU #Tempe its so weird to imagine him when he was that young.
http://twitpic.com/f6g5z - The main hub of #Tempe is #Mill Ave. It is where you will find all of #ASU hanging around enjoying the shops and restaurants.
http://twitpic.com/f6gwz - I go all the way to #Tempe #Mill Ave. just to end up eating #Turkish Food at "Med Fresh Grill"
http://twitpic.com/f6hls - The food at "Med Fresh Grill" Mill Ave. #Tempe was great, plentiful, and cheap. Great value for money.
After browsing #Tempe and the #ASU campus along with Mill Ave. especially after a long day under the burning heat of a very sunny day.
I actually had to place my bandana in cold water & wear it on my head just to try to cool off from time to time with a lot of water drinking.
At the end with a bet of heat exhaustion and a bet of a sun stroke it was time to head back to the hotel and call it a day. Got tanned too.
http://twitpic.com/f6jhr - Chilling @ChaparralSuites with a great cold beverage at hand and relaxing at the resort calling it a day.
With that I came to the end of day 7 of my trip to #Arizona and my day here today... time for some shut eye... write to you soon.. Happy #TT
