Sedona



Last September Nancy & I spent a week in Sedona, Arizona, to celebrate our seventeenth unofficial and our third official wedding anniversary. It was the first time either of us had stayed in the red rock town. We were both blown away by the beauty.

The sky takes on a deep blue against the red rocks, and the air seems crystal clear. We were surprised at how much vegetation there was—lots of pines, junipers, manzanita bushes, and many varieties of cactus, not all dust and desert.
We went for a hike every day—and there are A LOT of hiking trails. One morning we did a yoga session up on a flat rock with a spectacular view of Bell Rock, the surrounding mountains, and the green valley. It was one of the vortex sites, where the earth’s electromagnetic energy is particularly strong. Nancy also practiced planking.

We spent time at several vortexes, and finally admitted to each other that we felt no special energy…although Nancy’s hair got some fetching swirls!

We spent a full day hiking at the nearby Grand Canyon. The Canyon is gorgeous, of course. Despite our altitude sickness, the intense heat, and the overwhelming depth of the giant chasm, we loved it.
We would go back to Sedona in a heart beat, perhaps to see the spectacular color later in the fall. We loved it!!!

Planking - very trendy!
