UIAD GOES TO THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST

Another Jean, Jean B. shares these two photos:  On our way from Page to Phoenix we happened to drive a few miles on route 66. This is the picture of the crossroad with plenty of  roadsigns : A symbol of so many things to see, to remember and to discover in the US, a fascinating endless adventure … In the Phoenix Botanical Garden one could find sustainable skyscrapers. Of course those saguaros skyscrapers do not  have so many windows and dwellers as in Chicago or San Francisco buildings, but food ( prickly pears )  is available     « on site ». Jean _______________________________________ My best, Jane --prickly pears =  Go to wordreference for the translation 😆

Thanks Jean C.   You'll be the one to get the ball rolling. Thanks for sharing this first photo. In a saloon in Silverton, Colorado, listening to this lovely piano player. My best, Jane _____________________________ -- to get the ball rolling =   To set something, often a process, in motion; to begin.  -- What is the play on words? What is the difference between a "piano player" and and "player piano"?

Hello everyone, Autumn is here.  This blog has finished its summer vacation... I blew out my birthday candles yesterday.... and the blog is ready to open again! The American Southwest, June 18th - July 2nd, 2019. We returned with so many photos, such good memories... Such a wonderful trip!  Now is the time to start sharing our experience/photos with everyone.  And it's time for the students themselves to be the makers of this blog.  Their photos, their comments. Participation will be from time to time, as I wait for them to send me their photos with short write-ups .   Let me get started with a few random group photos.  Here we are at The Great Sand Dunes in Colorado.  Dancing in Santa Fe!   Such fun !    This photo and the next one:  We are visiting Georgia O'Keeffe's house/workshop.   Such a beautiful house.  We also took the train!  Durango-Silverton.   See Day 22 (D-39)  of this blog.    And we were ALWAYS EATING!
