Go West!

Went into the wild, wild West when we arrived in Arizona. Weather has been quite hot, but we are enjoying the surroundings. We stayed in a motel in Phoenix because no campgrounds were listed on the map...and if they're not on the map, so says Larry, they don't exist!

In Phoenix, we visited the Heard museum which is all about the Native American Indians. Fascinating artifacts and history. We then drove to Tuscon and on our way, we happened upon the Owl Bead Shop. This had been suggested to us by a woman from CA that we met at Guadeloupe Peak and as we were driving, it just appeared along our route.
We stayed in Tuscon for 3 days and on Easter Sunday, had brunch at the Desert Museum. They had a beautiful hummingbird area where hundreds of little hummingbirds were all around.

We then went on to Scottsdale, where we are now. Spent a weird evening in the parking lot of West World, an equestrian center. The bright lights and noises all around us should have kept us awake, but we had dinner at the Salty Senorita and the margaritas helped us sleep well. Today we are going to Frank Lloyd Wright's winter training school, Taliesen West. He moved his entire headquarters out here for the winter months. Stay tuned...
