Tohona Chul Park Tuscon, Arizona

One of the most beautiful spots I have ever visited and one of National Geographics 22 most notable secret gardens in the USA and Canada.  An old hacienda has been converted into a tea room.  We ate outside under a tree on a brick patio.   The paths in the 49 acres wound through desert flowers blooming and the fragrance was compelling at certain points.  Even though many people were in attendance that day, I sat alone at times and felt like the only person in the garden.  Interesting birds, a greenhouse, art exhibits and museums - I could go there again and again.  

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.
