my four legged co-pilot and I decided to head for warmer climes this Christmas.
so we packed up the car and headed south to Arizona.
making it a two day journey,
we stopped for the evening at a little hotel just north of Sedona.
apparently it suited bijou’s high level of accommodation standards:
well rested, we woke early and drove into Sedona for a sunrise hike:
out along the Boynton Canyon and Vista Trail,
the warm morning sun guided us through red rocks and cactus:
up to the top of the trail where the ‘Vista’ stretched for miles in all directions,
with breathtaking views of the pine forest and sandstone formations:
though, clearly, bijou’s only thought was…
when’s breakfast?
here’s where she finds out the food is back in the car.
(isnt she fancy in her Christmas collar?)
after our hike, and since it was Christmas Eve,
we decided to go to church.
(going to the parking lot counts, right?)
luckily this one was easy to spot:
If you know anything about Sedona,
then you’ll know that it attracts a large New Age tourist industry.
this is, in part, due to several ‘spiritual vortices’ located in the area.
so… we thought we’d check out what the fuss was all about.
here’s bijou and I just before experiencing the Airport Mesa vortex,
with Sedona in the background.
so gorgeous!
while standing ‘in the vortex’ I can’t say I felt much of a difference -
save for, perhaps, an added sense of quiet and calm.
I took a self portrait with my iphone,
just to prove that nothing had changed.
looking the same as usual, no?
