We have had a busy two days. Yesterday we spent a good part of the day at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. It is an extensive collection of Native American artifacts. There was info on each of the 21 federally recognized tribes. Also a large exhibit on the Indian schools and the history of how children were taken from their homes, transported many miles (2000 in some cases) and then taught to be like the Caucasians who were so superior. A very moving exhibit explaining a very sad part of our history.

Last night we went out for dinner. A nice treat after preparing all meals at the condo. This morning was for swimming and relaxing.

This afternoon we toured Taliesin West - Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Scottsdale. This was his home for six months out of the year from 1936 through his death in 1959. Interesting tour .... the few pictures below will help give you a feel for his work. Some are of the outside of the home, one is a living room and one is his bedroom. His school of architecture is located here also - accepts 30 students each year. The students spend half of the year here and the other half in Wisconsin.

Dinner tonight, packed to leave at 9 am and then I went swimming for a bit. It is lovely swimming at night. No one is in the pool but me!

Tomorrow we drop Art off at the airport and pick up Claire and Ken. Then we head north to Flagstaff with a few sightseeing stops along the way! It will be great to have them join us. Looking forward to Sunday when Faith and Adam arrive!

Good night from Arizona!
