Still in Phoenix!




We breakfasted in our "casita" and left for Taliesin West - Frank Lloyd Wright's home here in Arizona. Built in 1937 and in a series of construction periods, it now serves as the headquarters for the foundation and six months of the years houses a school of architecture. It's really a complex - two theaters, office, sleeping quarters, etc. We took the "insights" Tour which was 90 minutes and granted us access to some of his living quarters. Our guide was excellent - even Major Tom said so.

When we got back to the car, the thermometer registered 115 degrees - dry heat, of course. We feasted at a Target because we were looking for some other things too. Smoothies and Hot Dogs.

later, back here we went over to the pool. Gorgeous -large round with an island in the center for lounge chairs ,etc. The water was great and we stayed until sunset. About 102 at that point.

We ate in the room and finished the laundry/ironing. We head out of here tomorrow for the petrified Forest and eventually Albuquerque.
