Day 14: Sedona

Today was a hot, lazy day.  We had scrambled eggs for breakfast cooked by Bob with rolls from the Italian meal last night and croissants delivered yesterday by the landlady.  We ate outside on the patio, eventually going out at about 10.30.

We visited the Sedona Historical Museum based in the one room house of an early settler which expanded over time when their orchards matured and bore fruit.  There were many interesting photographs, mementoes and reminiscences and a host of old machinery outside - including an old apple grading machine.   There was also plenty to remind us that Sedona was extensively used to shoot cowboy films in the 1950s.  

An old fireman!

We explored a shopping centre called Tlaquepaque with many boutiques laid out like a Mexican village with archways and piazzas with fountains.  Well, the website describes it as Mexican inspired, but we thought it looked Italian! Peter and I took advantage of a shady seat for a while before we met up again with Bob and Mary, then it was off to Staples for large elastic bands (much larger than we can easily get in the UK) and to Safeway for lunch provisions.

Lunch on the patio was followed by reading, siesta, crosswords and more reading and, eventually, drinking! 

The restaurant tonight was the Heartline Cafe just up the road from the B&B.  The whole road between here and Uptown Sedona is lined with restaurants!
