Ever since we arrived we have been hearing about the "doozy of a storm" which of course also had a name. Admittedly we did an indoor museum so we might have missed the rain but on the way back I looked at this beautiful sky. We are trying to figure out why the water just sits on top of the sand or clay or whatever.
Another great meal - this time in Scottsdale at a Thai restaurant - mmmm good and it was a beautiful cool evening....not cold, no snowplows:). I just read the Phoenix metro area has 16,573 - it's huge and spread out - I think that's aboout 130 miles x 130 miles - right you math people?
We visited the 3 year old MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) - it was founded by the former CEO of Target in MN - it was his $250 million dollar dream. 15,000 musical instruments from around the world and the architect is from Minneapolis! Headsets are provided and each display has music - great music. From my day - Joan Baez and Bob Dylan 1963, Elvis' guitar and costume, lots of videos, lots of famous works. I highly recommend it and the "average" visit is 4 hours. I will return.
My German grandma played a harmonica and small accordion for us - I wish I knew more about it but this little gem was made in Germany and in the way back of my mind it seemed a bit familiar.
Today we are headed to a huge swap meet, then to dinner with my friends here, Beth & Fran and their spouses - can't wait. I saw this post on FaKebook (not a typo) last night and it looked like something my mom would say!!!!!
