San Marcos Golf Resort, Chandler, AZ

Phoenix was an interesting experience— my first time to visit the State of Arizona. Our conference was at the legendary San Marcos Golf Resort and Conference Center in Chandler. The hotel provided some of the most interesting coffee breaks. Ordinarily, one gets cookies or muffins or doughnuts or some such thing, but the morning breaks always had hard boiled egg halves and slices of cheeses with fancy crackers (I loved the chevre they served), and the afternoon breaks were always slices of melons and pineapple, which I found rather too hard to eat in a crowded lobby.

Off time was kinda boring in Phoenix and I don't think I'd like to live here. For one, I couldn't find any place decent to eat. The town was full of national franchise places, but I didn't have a single meal the whole trip worthy of description.
