Arcosanti, Wildlife Park, Pompeii

Spring break stayed local.  Visited Arcosanti, Italian architect with some interesting ideas that tired to build an experimental community near Prescott.  He studied under the crazy American architect FLWright and the influences are readily apparent.  Arcosanti is now run by hippy types studying architecture in a commune setting.  They make most of their money casting windchimes from Arcosanti's drawings.  Second place we've visited here in AZ that felt like we wondered into the set of Lost.  The first was Biosphere near Tucson.  

Same day, we visited a sad and expensive wild animal park near Cottonwood.

Then a few days later to the Science Museum downtown Phx for the Pompeii exhibit.
