Scottsdale, AZ-February 23, 2013

We decided to drive to and through Scottsdale since we have heard so much about it. What can I say? It's huge, busy, brown and everybody lives behind brick, stone or stucco walls. I do mean everybody. They cannot see out and we cannot see in. We are not sure we could live like that. The only people who get to live without being surrounded by walls are those who build mansions on the side of the mountains. Scottsdale is interesting but we are pretty sure we could never live there. Lots of money and lots of people. Giving credit where credit is due, the streets and sidewalks are very clean. No trash blowing down the street. Tucson was nasty in spots with blowing trash. We found a local Mexican restaurant, Manuel's, and had a wonderful very late lunch. When we arrived home, there were two hot air balloons up. The sun was shining right through them, but it was still possible to see that one was the Arizona state flag.

They are obviously farther away than I thought. There was not

enough wind to make them move. It was a pretty sight.

 

Have a peaceful and blessed Sunday.
