Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, the winter home and workshop of Frank Lloyd Wright was fascinating.

I'm glad a rowing friend of mine mentioned it, otherwise the group of us in Scottsdale would have missed out.

Fascinating place, that actually reminded me of a building that I went to when I was in elementary school. There was a House of the Future built just south of Phoenix near where my grandparents lived and I toured it a couple of times. It was designed by students of Taliesin West, so lots of what I saw looked familiar.

Lots of lovely, interesting (sometimes puzzling) concepts and details. I was most charmed by the cabaret, which seems like a great little place to sit and listen.
