Well now, my favourite place in Phoenix isn't IN Phoenix... It is about a two hour drive, plus, up into the mountains, yes a truly beautiful drive, to a beautiful place called Sedona.
When I got there finally, it was late. Very late. So late that I could barely see these huge, red, rainwater-etched mountains. They were cathedra-like and being in this area is akin to a religious experience.
So don't arrive late! God will getcha!
I knew I had to stay, so, even though I had a budget five star resort booked in Scottsdale Arizona, home of some hefty PGA Golf Tournaments and lots of rich guys and dolls, I forked out another $45 and got a room up in Sedona. All by myself, with a libido, a fireplace, the stillness in the air and nobody around but me. Yes nobody around but me. Nobody around but me...
Did I say that there was nobody around really, except me? Yes I suppose I did. UP there in the beautiful mountains, with the cool elevation air, a fireplace and my own romantic heart, I had the best room in the goddamned motel. Not many people around in January, I guess. The propane flames in the fireplace warmed the cabin and I stared out into the silent night. It was a bit of heaven.
However, I do not prefer to travel alone. This I discovered with that $1500 pass to fly anywhere in North America on a Saturday, Sunday or Tuesday with Air Canada. Good for three months. Good for someone who has money, but I didn't. Good for putting a guy in a hole still crammed with debt 18 months later.
But I am never one to complain. After I have bitched a bit. So I will dig myself out.
All I can say is go to Sedona. Plan to stay up there a night and two days. That little motel, on the northeast corner of some four corners part of Sedona, I booked as an internet special. In fact, I booked it in my car, on my computer, floating through someone else's isp signal on my new laptop. But it worked, and saved me a bundle.
Take lots of film. Ask the locals what to see. Do not miss the church, carved right into the mountain, at some site along a hillside in Sedona. Behind the altar are clear windows where you can see through to the heavenly view of this gigantic, spiritual, magnificent place: Sedona. JB

Sedona is a laid back artsy town nestled amid a beautiful southwestern backdrop. Summer days are hot and dry while nighttime cools off. Watch out for thunderstorms and be sure to dine at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant.

Wenn ich mich nicht irre war das das Dorf auf dem roten Berg. Bzw in der roten Bergkette.
Fantastisches Dorf.
