My parents dragged us down to the southwest countless times, always in August because it was "cheap" (but also "hot"), and always to somewhere odd and out of the way (the Very Big Array anyone?). I can't believe they deprived us of this crazy spot though, looks so fun!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085413093222573852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-14370293413054833392011-07-05T09:29:37.347-07:002011-07-05T09:29:37.347-07:00I just got back in touch last week with a friend w...I just got back in touch last week with a friend who worked and lived there, first in the early '90s and then again recently.

We had the pleasure of meeting Paolo Soleri four years ago when he was a guest speaker at Leepa Rattner Museum in Tarpon Springs. I have some of those musical windchimes and they are melodic. Arizona is a fascinating state and such unusual scenery. I am anxious to read your next adventure. <br />Truly beautiful post for which I thank you<br />Helen Tilstonhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.com
