Arizona - Day 2

Well, I am now in Arizona.

Arizona is definitely not Nova Scotia or Newfoundland. Not only is there basically no grass, but there seems to be a serious cactus infestation. Oh, and the sun is more intense here than anywhere else I have ever been.

After a great trip to Taliesen West, Frank Lloyd Wright's Western retreat. On the tour we took we were able to see quite a number of the buildings and facilities he designed over the years he lived there.

Immediately afterwards we made a trip to Taser International, where I had a few photos taken.

As we walked out of the restaurant where we ate lunch it started to rain, and then it poured. Apparently this is the first time it has rained in months here. It was a somewhat surreal experience.

Anyway, things are going well and we have seen quite a number of local sights, though nothing in Phoenix proper. At some point tomorrow we will be heading to the Grand Canyon for two nights. While there we should have the opportunity to take a mule ride, which should be neat.

Anyway, I should probably try to do at least a little studying before dinner. Though I am on a trip I am still a student with comps fast approaching.
