Arizona Day 2

On 2nd day, when the sun is up, it's really really bright. It looks like warm but actually it's not. It's a bit chilly. Now, we can see what we missed when we drove the night before in the dark. The place is beautiful.

Here is the picture of our cottage and of course the weird looking car.

There is a water fountain on the way in to the resort. It's still running, but some of the water is actually frozen and there are some ice on the fountain.

The second day, we plan to look around Sedona area since there are a lot of things we can see here. And since it's winter, the day is shorter. We also try to save our energy for long trip the next day to Grand Canyon.

The first trip is to go to the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The chapel is located in one of the top of the red rock mountain. As you can see in the picture.

There are a lot of interesting red rock formations but we can't put all the pictures here.

I also found out that the car is sucks :) The car is not comfortable when driving on the curly road. So, my suggestion, don't buy this car :)

Another picture of Novita with the plants that grows around the chapel area. We actually have to hike to go up since we can't find parking spot near the chapel area.

From there we went to the Bell Rock formation. We actually decided to go for lunch first before we hike this rock. It's quite a challenge for us who are not a hiker. This is actually under category Easy Hike. All this because we try to cut thru rather than going to the easy trail where the easy trail. We decided to take the easy trail after we can't hike too steep anymore.

This pic of us before the hike on Bell Rock formation in the background.




There is another picture when we 1/2 way. We decided to turn around since it's too steep and it took longer than we plan.

Then we went to another scenic place near the Sedona airport. We actually can see the Sedona town from there and also we can see the red rock formation surrounding Sedona. We decided that we're going back there to see the sunset. The whole area look like cowboy town like in the movie.

Then, we also go to art shops (or mall) called Tlaquepaque Arts & Craft Village. It's very unique. It's an open mall, with all art shops. There are some fine dining place as well. Mostly fine art or jewelries. Here is the website if you guys interested to see www.tlaq.com. It's very good for pre-wedding picture (Siska, next time you can ask your client to come here hehehe :).


Here is the picture of the scenic near the airport during the sunset. We got there a bit late since there is traffic. Apparently, a lot of people have the same idea like us.

The first one is during the day when we went there the first time.

The second pic is during sunset at approximately the same spot. That's the end of day 2.
