Day 21

It was a beautiful day in Northern Arizona today – sunny and warm. At first we wanted to go to a place called "Wupatki National Monument", which is the ruins of an old Indian settlement. However, we decided that we had enough of this kind of stuff, and instead decided to drive to Sedona. It's about 30 miles to the south east from Flagstaff, and famous for its red rocks, woods of Ponderosa pines, and art galleries. The road there (89A) is beautiful and the town is really nice. We even liked some of the art that we saw in the galleries, which is uncommon for us (not that we can afford buying $20,000 paintings, but still). In short, it was definitely worth the drive.

We returned to Flagstaff early afternoon, and planned to go to the Lowell Observatory (from where Pluto was discovered early last century) in the evening. Unfortunately it is closed today. It looks like we'll spend the evening in the hotel, reading and watching TV.
