Arizona One day over Spring Break, I met my old college romate half-way between Arizona's two major cities, Phoenix and Tucson. I live in Phoenix and she lives in Tucson. They have two large outlet malls in Casa Grande. My friend is a teacher also, and I introduced her to Flat Stanley. So the 3 of us drove over to where the ancient Hohokam Indian Village Ruins are.
Scientists think there was actually a whole city there.
The Hohokam were very intelligent people, who irrigated their crops, studied astronomy, played organized sports, and created beautiful pottery. The Casa Grande monument is located out in a very pretty part of the Sonoran Desert. Stanley loved how beautiful the desert looks in spring, when everything is blooming.
