Good Mornin' Flagstaff

What a nice place to start a new week. Yesterday, we took the scenic drive here through Sedona. That's a nice little place. You know every time I leave the neighbourhood, I always find places which I think deserve a vacation home or at this point a place to retire for a half year per year. We continued along the Oak Creek Valley. The hairpin turns weren't tiring in the little Ford Focus. We saw the J on the mountain town of Jerome, then into Flagstaff.

After eating in a huge Chinese buffet we checked into a hotel and moved the bags in from the car. Then, we drove east on I-40 just to find the Meteor Crater. That is a 4000-foot, big hole from a 150 ft. rock from outer space! It happened more than 50,000 years ago, so it pre-dates even pop star Madonna.

We're off today to see the Grand Canyon. We plan to go up to the east entrance and then exit from the southern route. We'll then head west on I-40 and bits of old Route 66.

Only tomorrow knows in which town we'll end up staying.
