Wandering Wallers: Wet Sedona

We are having a lazy day as it's raining. The rain has been falling all night and today. As always in the desert it's a welcome relief and an excuse for a rest day.

It has been a busy week with our first visitors to our RV. Symi was really excited to meet her Grandma Rae (Rob's step Mother from Connecticut), and two uncles Scott and Pilo.

Another shoulder ride, below the Chapel of the Holy Cross

Symi was spoilt with endless attention from Pilo who was helping with the art content of her schooling and gave her endless shoulder rides. We all visited the Chapel of the Holy Cross which was spectacular. We also did a tour of the shops and visited the New Age Superstore to try and enlighten ourselves. Symi discovered what a singing bowl is, think about playing a wine glass but there is a long after-sound with sound waves that you could feel. Just add money!

Slim Shady looking at Bell Rock

Other activities have included a beautiful walk around Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. A family ride in North Sedona to the Devil's kitchen. Symi and Fiona impressing with their riding, getting used to the many rocks, exposure (traversing steep hills) and steep dips/roll ins. Of course Rob continues to make a pig of himself and finally ventured to South Sedona yesterday starting up the Broken Arrow trail to Chicken Point. Following this was endless singletrack via Lama Trail, Bell Rock Pathway (with a singletrack alternative for bikes, very good too) and the iconic Slim Shady. Following this was a explore of Hog Wash (first double black, not too bad) and back down Broken Arrow exhausted with the clouds looking very threatening.
