The Feast After the Kitt Peak Climb

Usually when out here for Thanksgiving, I end up eating at a Chiii's or the YWCA but not this time.  This time it is at the Westin La Paloma, guest of my daughter.  Today's temp was an unusually warm 85 so since I elected to sit outside, I thought I would bake in long pants but not to worry, the patio was shaded and it was very comfortable.  I grabbed a plate, elbowed my way to the head of the line and soon.....

....was standing in front of this.  I tried not to be conspicuous by my frenzied grabbing of shrimp, salmon, oyster shooters, smoked salmon, etc... I returned to my table and began to eat what would merely be the first helping.

Then I came back with a 2nd plate of food, with a 2nd glass of cab.  

It was nice to sit in the warmth with grand views of the Catalinas.  Burp.  Well, that was embarrassing.  I got up and stumbled toward.....

....the dessert table!!!  The portions were small so I....

.....took two small pieces of pumpkin and pecan pie.  It was all very good.  I did not visit the "hot table" so missed the turkey, roast beef, etc...  Oh well, maybe next year.  I soon....

....exited the facility.  Well, back to hiking and cycling.
