This was the first full day of the Passport America rally. We had the opening ceremonies and a nice dinner last evening and a drawing for some door prizes.

This morning they had coffee and donuts with the vendors being open at 9am. We went in and visited the vendors, many we had seen at previous rallies. The couple manning the NOMAD booth was a couple from Cherokee Village and Evelyn had known them for years thru their affiliation with the Methodist Church. They had a long visit, catching up on things. They spend the winter months here in Yuma, away from the cold and ice in Arkansas. They still maintain a home there and travel during the winter months.

Entertainment was a nice Country & Western band out on the outside stage. It was too cool for us, after the sun went down, so we came home. Afterwards they were to play Bingo and Texas Holdem poker witch neither interested us so we stayed home where it was warm.

Evelyn attended a seminar on traveling to Alaska and found it interesting and some places we did not visit on our trip in 04. Tomorrow there will be a golf outing for those interested and seminars, etc. for the others and a cook out tomorrow evening along with more entertainment. We will see what the weather does and maybe we will brave it ourselves.
