Arizona!

We are in Arizona - woohoo! We came out here because we had a reception Thursday night, where we invited all the UGA alums and friends in the greater Phoenix area to come and hear Presdent Adams say a few words about UGA. But we have stayed for the game - Go Dawgs!



Yesterday we explored Tempe and Scottsdale, suburbs of Phoenix. Tempe is where we will be today for the football game. Scottsdale is a higher-end area with lots of shopping. We only did a little shopping and bought a Christmas present (get excited, Michael!)
But while we were in North Scottsdale, we drove up to Taliesin West, the winter home of Frank Lloyd Wright. I've recently become interested in wright after reading Loving Frank by Nancy Horan. (GREAT book!)

However, we did not tour the house, and I am a sad that we didn't. But it was $32 per person, and after spending $1417 last week to get my Escape repaired (there was a run-in with construction trash - a story for another day) I have little free money. But I walked around and took some pictures and feel a little closer to good ole' Frank.
