This is SugarBear's first trip to Phoenix, Arizona. The local's call the weather "warm" if the thermometer is still under 100 degrees.

SugarBear maintains a private vacation residence located on the campus of Thunderbird, The American Graduate School of International Managememt

Here is a shot of the Thunderbird campus from SugarBear's tiny front porch.

These Prickly Pears are supposed to be good eating... but how the heck do you eat 'em without severe injury?

Frank Lloyd Wright built his winter home here in Phoenix, Taliesin West.

Art work is scattered all around Taliesin West, like these guys who came from China.

Pardon me, but could you point me toward the Gift Shop?

Here SugarBear is at the sculpture garden at the Wickenburg Museum. "Go West, young SugarBear".

When it gets HOT in the afternoon you'll find SugarBear lounging around the pool.
