The rest of the story!

Now that we are back maybe I should finish up "the rest of the story" - the remaining few days of our incredibly short holiday. After the Grand Canyon trip we weren't sure what could top that.

On Monday we went to Taliesin West for the "Behind the Scenes" Tour. This was especially in honor of Peter's birthday and of course I went along to help him celebrate! I'm not sure what pics I should put on this blog - seeing as all pictures taken were strictly for private usage because of regulations. Taliesin West is both school and museum wrapped up in one. During our three hour tour (no we didn't leave dry land for those of you who remember the Gilligan Days) we toured the grounds, had tea in the still in use dining room, sat in the performance hall, cabaret hall, private living room of the Wright's, Frank Lloyd Wright's own office and the Sun Room built for visiting guests. We viewed the Wright's private day rooms and saw so much more. Frank Lloyd Wright was a short man - not much taller than me so all the seating was low. The gentleman had a well known viewpoint that anything over six feet was a waste of space and this showed up in the architecture and furnishing of Taliesin West! We ended the tour (by our choice) at the book and gift shop. Lego has even created a few sets for Taliesin, "Fallingwater" designed for a private client and the "Guggenheim Museum" in New York. Too bad we only had so much luggage space coming back! To know more or see more of our tour you will have to google or visit us!

One more tour left - that will be the rest of the rest of the story to come yet!
