Life's Hills and Rivers Encompassed by numerous stars, silence, and astounding mountains, I remained on Arizona's Piestewa Peak awestruck by the scenery .Glancing back at the climb and to think strolling through glade woodland, and mud.

Oregon Coast that dates back to an eruption from Yellowstone, I think she said around 15 million years ago. As the lava flowed towards the ocean it picked up and deposited rocks along the way which explained a long puzzle they had of how Idaho Idaho geodes and crystals were in the Pacific Ocean.

So much time has passed, and yet, those memories still feel as bright and warm as the day they were made. I can still remember the excitement that coursed through my body as we left the airport, heading to our resort.

Second Grade Sins Our brand new heater had just stopped working in the dead middle of a blizzard. Icicles clung to the gutters like sloths to branches. The sweet smell of baked blueberry muffins filled the air. Not just any muffins though, the muffins my mom bought at the store. I will never forget what happened on that day.

After getting struck by lightning, Gretel Ehrlich went to Greenland for the first time in 1993. In an article she wrote for Harper 's Magazine, she explains that she felt claustrophobic and “needed to see horizon lines, and off I went with no real idea of where I was going.

Architecture often stands on its own edifying right, but how much more affluent we are to seek an understanding of the cultural diversity and design influence one had on architecture when presented in terms of an historical account. This paper seeks to piece together the formal elements of the villa with dignifying examples of diversity from Hadrian’s travels and abhor of the surroundings of Rome itself.
