Day 33 - Feb 10th - El Centro

Up early this morning - Toast, bacon, and eggs for breakfast. Weather looks good - sunny and calm, so we get a early start by driving over the the end on NAF runways by 8:00AM --- But not soon enough, 4 of the "Blue Angels" were already off and practicing. We could see them but the were slightly too far away for good photos. However we were not dissapointed!! Soon two more of the took off.

They roared down the runway, stayed low until the near end and the immediately turned vertical and went straigt up until out of site. Pretty Impressive !! Then the four that had first left, returned and landed on the runway closest to us - Good Photo Ops!! A couple of large twin engine propeller "Troup Carrier" Planes then spent the next hour circling and practicing "Touch and Go" cyles. We soon tired of that and returned home for lunch.

After lunch went for a tour of El Centro and then to Calexico right on the Mexican Border, but we did not cross over. Bought some groceries in "Food for Less" - mostly Clamato juice so we can have a "Rum Caesar" now and then. Return to the RV Park and indeed, do have a "Toddy"This is Tuesday, our night out for supper, so we go over to the Rio Bend RV Cafe and have dinner at 4:30PM. Denice has the ground Sirlion steak and I have the Special of Shrimp and Fries. Mighty Fine!!! A few more sunset photos, and then turn in.
