Day 1 part 2


I thought I'd make this in 2 parts cuz it's a lot to read! Plus, I didn't want my writing to magically disappear like it did in Paris.

There is a cluster of shops & hotels coming into Sedona that made my head turn left,right,left,right...just taking it all in & wondering what all is here. I noticed a sign for a Thai restaurant-woopee! Then there's about 3 miles of nothing but red rock, then Sedona 'downtown'. My hotel, Sky Ranch Lodge, is at the top of a mountain right next to the little airport.It's cute! I like it. There's another scenic outlook point right by the driveway. I can't even begin to describe the view.AWE~

I had quite a neck tension headache most of the day but got worse when I got to the hotel. My neck hurt & my head was pounding. There was so much I wanted to do but I had to lay down for a little. Thought I was going to throw up but some fresh air helped.
I took some pics at the scenic outlook, then drove 1/2 mile down the hill to the Airport Mesa Vortex site as the sun was going down. It was so incredibly beautiful!!! You can hike all around on trails on the red rock. It almost looks professionally landscaped rather than something naturally made. So impressive! I looked around to see where a good spot would be to play my frame drum I brought. I kept my eyes out for a tarantula. I have to see one this week!! That would be too cool.Maybe a scorpion too...from a distance of course!

Then I drove back down through the Red Rock Country to the Thai restaurant. I got Shrimp Pineapple Curry & a salad w/ peanut sauce dressing-YUM!!! I hope to go back w/ Lyn later in the week.

So that brings me to here-back at the hotel. They have a computer in the lobby to use. Luckliy there's noone else here wanting to use it while I write all of this. I even have time to hop in the jacuzzi!!

Until next time~
My day trip to the GRAND CANYON is tomorrow! I'll have lots to write about then I'm sure!
love,
Jes

am taking the shuttle to Sedona. Take your time at the Grand Canyon. Ride a donkey all day into the wee hours if you'd like :)
