Heading home

Sedona to Prescott via Tlaquepaque and Arcosanti.

Sedona is still beautiful with its red cliffs. Approaching it from the north is far more enchanting than from the south with it's long line of strip malls and motels. Don thinks the stormy weather seemed to enhance everything.

At The Talaquepaque art center in Sedona, I wanted Don to see the outdoor wind sculptures that were twirling around in the brisk breeze. I remembered seeing these from my previous trip and thought he would enjoy them too.

Then on to Arcosanti for lunch and a tour (http://www.arcosanti.org/). Don was impressed with the architectural details (asked lots of questions). Our tour guide was a fine arts student originally from Missouri, moved to New York City and now a workshop attendee (apprentice) halfway through his program. Don would like a stay there (90-year old Paolo Soleri is there on Thursdays to answer questions) - anyone care to join in?

Then on to Prescott. Our internet wanderings led us to the Hassayampa Inn (http://www.hassayampainn.com/) - and we are enjoying it very much. It is a year older than our house and is right in the historic downtown area and we wandered the streets and antique stores after checking in. Dinner was in the Peacock Room (hotel dining room) and Don is enjoying a newspaper in the lobby by the fireplace while I toil away here (in our pleasant room). We brought along two extension cords and I needed both tonight. The available electrical plug is on the opposite side of the room.
