There is a hill behind the hotel where the meetings are being held and I noticed a bunch of people climbing the hill on a trail winding up the side. Maybe that is what I need to do tomorrow afternoon. There should be a good view of the university from the top. It isn't like a major mountain just a hill probably 500 feet above the relatively flat surrounding area. I still haven't had much opportunity to look around Tempe or Phoenix. The meetings tomorrow finish mid afternoon so I've been looking for something to do or someplace to go. Too bad the Grand Canyon is so far away. It didn't look that far from the plane but supposedly it is several hundred miles. Maybe what I saw wasn't the Grand Canyon. There are a couple of western towns south and west of Tempe. Maybe I'll check one of them out. I picked up some flyers from the motel office when I came back from dinner. Whatever I decide to do it needs to include some exercise. I did walk a couple of miles this evening just to burn off a few calories.
