When my daughter was very little we drove down Route 66, all the way from Chicago to Los Angeles. That’s when I first got a taste of Arizona.

I have not driven then whole stretch of Route 66 after that one time, but the Arizona part I’ve driven a few times.

I love the old murals, the people, the landscape, history, culture, and charming restaurants along the road. Along with the intense beauty of the nature in general, in Arizona, I started to do more research, and seriously think about eventually settling down here.

I narrowed down the area I wanted to live in, based on land prices, water, gardening seasons, low crime rates, year round temperatures (I like some snow in the winter,) local culture/people, and appealing nature. I took the photos in this post in the beginning of June, when I took my daughter to see the property I choose, along with enjoying the historical Route 66. I hope you enjoyed the taste of Route 66! Have you driven this road yourself? If so, I’d love to hear about how you experienced it! The weekend is almost here! I sure hope you’re having a great week so far 🙂

Love,

Ms Zen

  1. Seligman and Kingman are among my favourite high desert towns. West Side Lilo’s is a favourite pit stop, going too and from Carson City. I knew Mr. Delgadillo, when he came to Flagstaff and ran his Snow Cap Two. I have driven the Mother Road from Kingman to its eastern junction with I-40, east of Seligman and the segments in Williams, Flagstaff, Winslow and Gallup. Coming up, a night’s stay at Mother Road Hostel, in Albuquerque, on June 17.

  3. Love the character of the places, never been there watched Billy connelly (comedian actor) tour Route 66, on TV that was fun. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures & settling.

“The smell of good bread baking is like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight... [Breadmaking is] one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells... there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread.” - M.F.K. Fisher, The Art of Eating. I agree! Baking bread from scratch is full filling in every way.

Sagittarius Viking

It’s all about experiences, and the healing power of nature. Life is about choosing happiness. I entered the magic world of photography when I was five years old. My gypsy soul have taken me to many different countries, and definitely taught me to be more humble. I believe that you are what you eat, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food, and spending time outdoors. My German Shepherd is always by my side. Horses is a very important part of my life. Above everything else is my daughter. A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view. It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. Maybe a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my art prints is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations. Love, Ms Zen
