We left Parker and Parker Dam, and drove on up to Lake Havasu City. Our first stop in Lake Havasu City was at Basha, a grocery store, to pick up a few supplies to take home, and get some lunch. We all got some Chinese take out and ate it right there in the cafe. On the way out, we saw this:
That’s not something you see every day! They also had covered parking in the parking lot there, which is something I have never seen before. Of course, it does get really hot there in the summer, so I am sure that is why they have it.
I did not realize that Lake Havasu City is where they moved London Bridge! We drove over the bridge, then turned around and drove back over.
We were waiting for our friends, Terri and Rob, to call us and tell us where to meet them, so we went to Hastings, a book store, and hung around for a while. When they called us, the place where they wanted us to meet them was just on the other side of London Bridge. So, we drove over again.
Barley Brothers Brewery was the place. They make a coffee beer that FabGrandpa loves! He says it is just the right combination of caffeine and alcohol. See how dark that beer is? We ordered lunch and drinks, and had a wonderful time visiting with our friends.
I ordered the Grilled Salmon Cobb Salad. It was delish!
Lynda and Charlie ordered the nachos. They said it was very good, too.
We had such a good time with our friends. Here we all are, FabGrandpa, Rob, and Terri on the left; Charlie, Lynda, and me on the right. And you can see London Bridge right out the window.

Coffee beer? Was it more like a coffee with alchohol, or alchohol with coffee? I love coffee, not so much beer, but if I ever came across it I would try it. Love the bridge!
Christine says
I knew they had moved the bridge but I did not know where. Very cool and you lunch looks great.
Meesh says

Gaelyn says
Sounds like a good time. Love the indian. Been to Havasu City a few times and never been to or over the bridge. Of course I’m usually towing. Nice to see Terri.
See ya’ tomorrow.
Karen says
Lori: I don’t know as I don’t drink it. But it does smell somewhat like coffee.
Christine: Lunch was yummy!
Meesh! Old friend! long time no see, glad you’re back.
Devi: no, it was staying right up there, but I did comment to the others that I would have hated to have been the one who had to put it all back together. And nope, it was feta cheese, not blue.
Granny Two Shoes: Thanks!
Gaelyn: We had a wonderful time.

Coffee beer? There is such a thing? Wow. All I would need is a pitcher of that and a date with Carmen Electra and I could die and go to heaven.
