Our Home Exchange ( Florida)- Scottsdale Arizona. This was a great base to explore the sights, our first time ever here. We shopped, we dined, we heard music and travelled all over the area.
Day 1- We visited the Pueblo Ruins. We realized this was 1,500 year old archaeological site of the ancestral Sonoran Desert people (Hohokam). A very interesting site to see.
After lunch we explored the beautiful Desert Botanical Garden. It was fascinating site of Sonoran Desert. The towering cacti and alluring succulents were high on my list .

I’m so used to you covering travels in Europe, Asia, and Canada that I forget you’ve also been to the US! I’ve actually never been to Scottsdale, but Arizona in general certainly boasts a lot of natural wonders to be seen!

We love to visit Scottsdale. It’s the best part of the Phoenix metro area, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing – we’ll have to plan to check out the Pueblo Ruins. 🌞

Great photos, Anita! I’m glad that you like the desert. That’s a different desert, Las Vegas is in the Mojave Desert. 😎🌵 Las Vegas translates to The Meadows.
