I'm looking forward to seeing something totally breath-taking and connecting with Mother Earth like the Hopis or the Navajos. Or something :-)
The weather continues to be warm 22-27 C (75-85 F) and totally cloudless. I still can't overcome the fact that it's so flat and dry. To the extent that when the other day we drove to Lake Pleasant, I started to feel that once you've seen one saguaro, you've seen them all! Now if only my sore throat and snorkely nose stopped bothering me - and Dave.
Another observation: Scottsdale specialises on (overpriced) Hopi and Navajo jewelry, Glendale in antique stores, and Peoria in car dealerships :-) I've seen some totally gorgeous Native American art work and jewelry (I love turquoise both as a colour and as a mineral) but man is it ever expensive! Oh well as long as the margin goes to the benefit of some impoverished native boy or girl who can now attend college.
Oh and Weight Watchers is not going very well (as I'm about to force pieces of chocolate down my throat...). And I was already down 8.5 lbs (3.9 kg)! All that despite the fact that I'm reading a fabulous book on weight loss You on a Diet... I guess I just have to keep in mind - as both WW and the book point out - that just like GPS navigating systems, I can get back on the right track at the next available moment...
Ja reilun kolmen viikon kuluttua mä olenkin Suomessa äidin synttäreitä juhlistamassa!
