I know Sandra has posted about Charles Phoenix before but I just want to say how cool he is and what an awesome niche he as developed for himself. In March, I got to go on one of his field trips (Thank YOU, Heidi's Mom). It was the "Disneyland" Theme Tour of Downtown Los Angeles.
I totally suggest this if he happens to have this tour again when a friend or relative comes out to visit. It so worth the money, too.
As always, his slide shows are mesmerizing! Very funny!
