We visited a small city, Sedona, Arizona. This small city boasts views, restaurants, friendly people and most importantly…. silver! We arrived mid morning and loved it very much. We walked, shopped (like every good tourist does), used the bathroom and continued.
A Storefront window in Sedona, all white used paint cans, so unique!
A great sculpture in Sedona of a girl taking a picture. This one is unique!
We travelled on a highway (#89A)… this hwy is the scenic route to the places we want to go BUT, unfortunately it was like being on a slow moving roller coaster (I thought of my friend Rose!). One cannot look down at the scenery. … actually no looking down at anything. Just straight ahead! Up… winding, then down winding, then up again… we didn’t know when this route would end. Yes, very scenic is what we were told but I was looking at the lines on the road and Paul’s driving skills and the cars coming towards us. Have to keep everyone in check, right?
We ate at the Palace Bar, Prescott where this film was made?
We had to go to Prescott Arizona… why??? Because Paul grew up in Prescott, Ontario, Canada. Now and then when checking the weather in Prescott this place in Arizona comes up. This place is actually a city!! It has a Costco and a Sam’s Club…. you know it has a population to support it. We stayed at a Best Western… but was not a great hotel. BUT the lunch at The Palace Bar was awesome. There was a movie filmed there.
The actual bar is the same and the these doors above. Some booths are named after people, I had to take a picture of Big Nose Kate because the name was unique compared to all the others! Hmmm … do you wonder, like I do.. who is Big Nose Kate?
The food was awesome here and then we had dinner at a local Italian restaurant. This also was an excellent meal. Prescott was the city we got our oil changed in too. Paul was happy!!
We are now in Tucson, Arizona and heading to San Diego. Here is a fact…. we all turn our clocks forward 1 hour tonight…. right?? Well, not in Arizona. So when we arrive in California tomorrow, we are in the same time zone all of a sudden!! Now, if we travel through a Navajo Reservation on the way…. they do turn the clocks forward! They follow most states (and the world)… so it could be one hour difference for a short time. …. too funny!
We do hear from our boating friends and our friends and family at home. We do miss everyone so much!
