After five hours flight, we arrived at Phoenix. A hot place, we started from about five degrees in Finland then about twelve degrees in NY, now in Phoenix was about thirty degrees. Found the shuttle to carefree - a myterious place for me. Along the road side there were cactus and cactus...
We stayed there for a week, a hot week - everyday was about thirty degrees (it was in April, it was still in the sprint time here). We lived in a retreat center - a beautiful place in the middle of nowhere (or just in the middle of the desert).
I walked around by myself, found a small shopping center-sundial circle. There were lots of shops selling native indian things, I found one that really some indian people selling things, I bought some things and also a cowboy hat for myself, as you can see from some of my pics.
One afternoon we went to the garden, to see more different kinda cactus. I love these cactus, they were so funny and strange, also lots of wild animals lived here and some bird even made nest inside the cactus.
It is wild wild west, the real scene from any of the cowboy western movies. I walked by the high way myself to get to another small town-cave creek. There was some shop keeper suprised when I said I'am from China. I guessed there had not been much chinese people yet, not as other big cities in US.
Good days passed so quick, it was the time that we were going back to China to start our lives!
Bye bye cactus and maybe see you sometime again!
It was nice to read your adventures of NY and Arizona. Maybe sometime you can tel us your view of the differences between European countries and the United States?
