Coffee wasn't great and David had done some searching on the internet and decided we should stop at a place called 'Macy's' and try their coffee! It was fantastic - picture below shows David's double espresso and my double cappuccino a la San Francisco (with cream and chocolate powder on the top)!
Decided we’d go to Sedona today.
Sedona is a city that straddles the county line between Coconino and Yavapai counties in the northern Verde Valley region of the US State of Arizona.
Sedona's main attraction is its array of red sandstone formations. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. The red rocks form a popular backdrop for many activities, ranging from spiritual pursuits to the hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Sedona was named after Sedona Arabella Miller Schnebly (1877–1950), the wife of Theodore Carlton Schnebly, the city's first postmaster, who was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness. Her mother, Amanda Miller, claimed to have made the name up because "it sounded pretty."
Sedona is about an hour’s drive from Flagstaff, however it took us longer because of the traffic. It is single lane in either direction so to be stuck behind an RV or truck means you’re at their mercy for speed!
We were amazed by the scenery! The red rock formations are amazing, constantly changing in colour due to the effect of the sunlight. We did some shopping, went to a restaurant named ‘El Ricon’ for a Mexican feast for lunch and did plenty of sight-seeing. We walked to the top of the Summit near the airport. There is a vortex in the area and we could see its effects on the trees because the limbs are twisted.
Thoroughly enjoyed our day!
