30 April Taliesen West, Sedona, Flagstaff -- Unbelievable scenery!!! Heading to Grand Canyon, and then California to visit a former colleague from Heidelberg, Germany, US Army Headquarters, MWR -- DD.

Taliesen West was quite interesting. Checked with archivist and there are around 12 letters from great uncle to Frank Lloyd Wright around the early 50s. Archivist said he'd send me info on how to get copies--they are at the Getty.

Spent 29th in Tucson, night of 30th in Flagstaff. Have a new theory on hotels now. Only doesn't work on weekends. Rodeway Inn in Flagstaff really cheap, but price skyrockets for weekend. Have been going to Choice hotels website and making reservations; seems to be cheaper sometimes. Priceline seems only worthwhile for more expensive hotels, but fees are relatively high, so inexpensive hotels aren't really a deal. Oh well.
