Photo: Arizona Inn Flowers and Rooms

This is another photo of the Arizona Inn in Tucson.  The landscaping and flowers highlight the rooms, each of which are individual in design and furnishings.  The Inn's architecture is Southwestern, and the color is called "deep rose pink."

This week we have photos of Punahka, Bhutan, posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

The Arizona Inn in Tucson is a charming place.  It is an oasis of tranquility in central Tucson, with a rich history and architectural tradition, and outstanding food, service and amenities.

It is a favorite place for many reasons, including the fact that Dave and I chose it for our wedding.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.  This week we are showing photos of Punahka, Bhutan.    We attended a festival there that provided an excellent venue for getting photos of the colorful local people.

Arizona Inn Doorway

Continuing with my series from the Arizona Inn, here is a photo of one of its doorways. The Inn has so many delightful architectural and decorative touches that it is a pleasant activity just to walk around the gardens nad grounds of the Inn to admire its details.

The Inn is located in central Tucson, very close to the University of Arizona. In fact, it is just 5 or 6 blocks from the University Medical Center, which was featured prominently and tragically on the news six months ago, as the UMC medical staff provided such remarkable care for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and other victims of the terrible shooting.

The Arizona Inn in Tucson is a treasure.

In the summer, those who live in Arizona love to take stay-cations and enjoy our local resorts at reduced rates.
