Sometimes traveling with Les is like going on a prolonged field trip! He loves the history of the new places we visit and enjoys his museums. We left Gold Canyon and headed a little north of Phoenix proper to a nice park, Desert Shadows. Our last park found us meeting another RVer who had the exact model and color RV we did, except theirs' was a 2015. Well you guessed it, they also showed up at Desert Shadows and parked diagonally across from us - how fun! We spent a few days going to Penzski Racing Museum (Scottsdale), Phoenix International Speedway (Phoenix), and a drive-by the SuperBowl (and conveniently the New England Patriots were the victors!).
Our first big adventure in this area was riding our bikes up to see what was playing at the local movie theater. We had not been to the movies in years but decided on American Sniper for a matinee. The next day we were raring to go to Taliesin West. This was Frank Lloyd Wright's home, workplace and architectural laboratory. Although it is a National Landmark it continues to house students (called apprentices). Wright build Taliesin West out of stone and sand from the Sonoran Desert. He believed that any structure should be part of the land. Anyway it was cool to see. Here are some photos.
