from Arizona

Joshuaのいとこ夫婦からのお手紙が来ました。
彼らはワシントン州に住んでいますが
今回はアリゾナへ旅行へ行った様子。
まるでテーマパークのような「アメリカ」の風景です。

Greetings,

Today, we went for a drive. The picture (Heart Attack Grill)
is from where we had lunch. For more information,
go to youtube and type in 'heart attack grill'. It was
fun, half pound hamburger. We heard about this place,
and had other business in Chandler, so we ate there.
The hamburgers start at a half pound singles, and
go up to two pound quadruples! The fries are
cooked in lard, and that's all they have, hamburgers
and fries. To drink there is coke in old fashioned
bottles, Bud or Corona in bottles or water.
The fries are unlimited. Fun place.

pound=ポンド（453.592グラム＝12オンス）
quadruples=４倍
lard=ラード
Bud=バドワイザー（ビールの銘柄）

最近日本でも流行っていますね、特大サイズのバーガー。
ここではハーフパウンドから２パウンドまで！
とても完食出来なさそうなサイズですが
見るのはそれなりに楽しそうです。

After lunch we went to an olive factory. Nice
little shop. Lots of interesting flavored oils,
stuffed olives, wine, bread, candles, etc.
I picked up two recipes and the oils to
make them.

The three other pictures are from Usery park,
outside of Mesa, Arizona.
Hope you enjoy them.

Hope all is well,

T&D
