Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
We saw some great street art while in Amsterdam. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good art museum but there is something about finding art out in the wild, where you least expect it that I deeply enjoy. What do you think of street art? Let me know in the comments. Street Art Other
This was a great – if hot – trip. We had the opportunity to see a variety of what Phoenix had to offer. There is more that I would like to do in the area, particularly hiking but summer was not the best time for that activity. If you missed any of the posts, see
On our last morning in Phoenix explored a bit. Of course, we had to check out a local book store and found Changing Hands bookstore. Yes, I did get a regional literature book but I haven’t finished it quite yet but I will post a review once I do. We also found some really neat
