Visit to Sedona AZ

We are spending a week at a timeshare in Sedona AZ this week. One of the places I really wanted to see was the Tlaquepaqe Arts and Crafts Village. This is a very large complex right next to our resort, Los Abrigados. There are several restaurants and many galleries and specialty shops in the complex as well as some wonderful outdoor art. Roger was very patient as I wandered in and out, fingering all the gorgeous items that are available. That took up a good part of Tues. Today, Wed. we took a drive to Tuzigoot Nat'l Monument near Cottonwood, AZ. This site was home over a period of 400 yrs, from about 1000 ad to 1400 ad to a large community of some 220 people, as well as a larger group in adjacent areas. It is not known why these people finally left the area, and no trace has been found of them elsewhere. The Verde River runs through the valley here and provided irrigation and water year round. I've also included a couple of the traditional "Red Rock Country" type photos. I took lots of these photos and photos of the wildflowers too. We've had perfect weather so it's been a delight to be out and about. There are a few more "have to see" before we leave. And I am so happy to have found a watercolor one day workshop being offered here at the resort on Friday. You KNOW I'm gonna be there!

too much fun...

Happy Trails...
