Sedona, AZ




Thank goodness Cindy and Rich encouraged us to take a day trip to Sedona. It was fairly close to Williams, a gorgeous drive, and a lovely destination. We especially enjoyed the drive through Oak Creek Canyon. It reminded us of NC 64 from Highlands to Cashiers--cliffs on one side, sheer drop offs on the other, and very narrow lanes. We were very impressed with Sedona. First of all, they actually have parking lots for visitors--several--and they are easy to find, and a free shuttle to get you around the town. The town is landscaped to the hilt and the flowers were all in bloom for us and the weather was picture perfect. You will see some haze in the photos because, as always, by the time we get going it is almost mid-day when we reach our destination. My friend Linda had told me about Tlaquepaque (pronounced Tia-keh-pah-keh) is an artist center modeled after a real Mexican town of the same name) and that was our favorite place in Sedona. The town itself is said to have 15,000 residents and they are SO lucky to live in such a lovely place. And why the photo of Don next to the Ferrari? We saw 4 or 5 Ferraris in the Sedona vacinity, as well as, many other cars you could drool over. So he just HAD to have his picture taken by the bright red one!
