Cottonwood/Sedona


  Seems like for some time we followed the mounds peoples. Visited historical mound builder sites in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Kentucky. Now we are on a series of cliff dwellers. They are all part of the ancient Pueblo people but each different names. We are talking of Mesa Verde, Bandelier, Montezuma, Chaca Canyon. Fascinating one and all.








 Then it was on to chic, classy, CROWDED, OVERPRICED, but pretty Sedona. Beautiful city and area but way too crowded and over priced. Alternative suggestion to follow...



 Nice chapel with a fantastic view of the red rocks of Sedona.

Travel tip: if in the area skip pretentious Sedona except for driving thru. Instead of the crowd and high prices there follow 89 to old town Cottonwood. Wonderful street with nice shops, restaurants and most importantly charm


 Think you have the world by the tail? Got a few coins clinking in you pocket? Pretty happy with your savings? Suck it up buttercup. The big dogs are way ahead of you. Check out this weekender house in Sedona.



 Tomorrow we move to the Grand canyon where we will be for a week. Yes, we spent a week here in 2016, yes we had day visited before that. Having said that, we feel we have not yet seen and experienced a lot of what the Canyon has to offer.



seize the day...
