We enjoyed our time in Flagstaff immensely. The people were as nice as I've ever met. We visited the Grand Canyon ( Alix's first time). It literally takes one's breath away. The park is wonderful, good signs, helpful staff and the food was good, very reasonable with several vegetarian options.
Our visit to Sedona was somewhat spoiled... by the extreme commercialization. There were literally souvenir shop after souvenir shop... some selling the standard trinkets and some selling higher end trinkets. The folks who work there are forced to live 17 miles away in Cottonwood where it is affordable. Linda was literally in tears over this. We did love the drive through the Canyon!

We got to New Mexico a few days ago. Albuquerque is very nice.. new, clean air. This morning we went to services at the oldest Jewish congregation in New Mexico. We felt right at home with the Mishkan Tefillah prayer book. The highlight for us was Santa Fe. Besides the wonderful architecture, crafts and South Western cuisine, we were fortunate to meet some amazing people... a 72 year old English woman named Susan ( a definite New Age type )who invited us to her home... the whole adobe wonderfulness, a turban toting TJ's check out guy and a wonderful man who is a healer. Sounds like Mt. Shasta!
