February 3rd
– February 9th 2014
Slowly but surely getting ready for our next adventure.
New tires for our car. We already bought snow chains.
Work days. Homework. Packing. Planning. Errands.
Practical life, the real one.
THURSDAY. Heard museum in Phoenix.
Interesting oasis in the urban jungle.
Guided tour – it was just fine.
Good collections. Some amazing pieces.
One hall dedicated to descriptions of current tribes in
Arizona.
It was quite sad story – another one in our history.
The museum was a bit like a maze
Indian boarding schools exhibition.
Another sad story. Do people actually learn from history?
FRIDAY. Camelback Mountain.
Slow morning. Took longer to leave the house than expected.
Drive. Sign “Lot full”. Annoying.
Maybe 10 loops around the roundabout (just before parking lot).
Annoyed. Few cars left so we were hoping.
Got in. Parked. So busy.
Later we learned there was a charity event.
People were walking/running the trail as many times as possible.
Walk/hike to the top (about 1200 ft elevation change).
It was incredibly busy.
It was pretty steep and strenuous trail.
The views were (of course) great.
It was also great exercise.
Pretty much all of our interesting stuff for the week.
Good weather (some cloudy days).
Cold snap (of low 60's for high) is over.
Actually, Sunday was quite warm (low 80's).
Life is good.
