We were scheduled to get a family picture taken today like the ones some folks have taken at the beach, except in the red rocks of Sedona. The monsoon season that I mentioned yesterday caused the photographer to reschedule since we were going to be out during that part of the day. So, with no other plan, we hung out around Sedona today, checking out the little shops, riding the trolley, and spending time at the pool. There are parts of Sedona, particularly the 'touristy' street that are like Gatlinburg (read this as derogatory) - little shops cashing in on tourists that don't know any better. Not to beat the town down, there are other parts of Sedona that are really neat that are basically high-end galleries with paintings, sculptures, pottery, and the like. There were some really pretty things on display, and after checking a few price tags, we decided that it would be better for us not to go in than to pay for breaking stuff. There was a sculpture for $258K, paintings were commonly ~$2K, and pottery bowls for several hundred dollars, but they were pretty. Of course all this pales in comparison to the natural scenery. ...Anyway, we rode the trolley around town to see where all it would go and then spent the rest of the day around the pool.
More tomorrow.Rodney
