Sedona, AZ to Sedona, AZ
Yesterday was basically a rest day and that was great. We had plans to go into town at night but after all of the rain we didn’t want to risk moving the truck too soon.
Last night I had walked outside to get the external charger that we’ve been using that’s main purpose is a jump starter for car batteries. Apparently, something got in the way of the door closing. And from 8pm til 8am, the door was open….causing the car battery to die. Argggg.
Luckily Jason sprung into action and took one of the two batteries we have on the camper off and used it to jumpstart the 4Runner. Phew! Two close ones in just a few days time. We are far enough off the road here where getting help would’ve been difficult. We got off easy with this one.
Jason made banana French toast with my Just Egg and it was great. Time to get going into town.
The ride from the campground into Sedona was breathtaking! Jason was loving every minute of it. Tons of twists and turns!
We started off in the Tlaquepaque shops. Cool artisan shops and galleries. We poked into a few but spent the most time talking to Dustin at Spirits and Spice. They sold curated spirits, oils, vingers, and spices. Dustin was “mostly vegan” and told us spots around town to visit. He caught a glimpse of Jason’s octopus tattoo and they talked for awhile about taking the time to find the right artist, etc. We tasted some vinegars and oils and Jason tried some spirits. We liked this place a good deal. Jason tried a whiskey that put all whiskeys to shame apparently.
We drove around and did the sight seeing stuff. These pictures could never do justice for that Sedona truly looks like. Very inspiring place. There is talk of vortexes and energy fields here and no doubt you can tell that this place FEELS different than anywhere you’ve ever been.
We brought the pups over to a walk that seemed short and sweet. We didn’t factor in the heat for the pups and they were able to do just about a mile in and out. The views were beautiful.
We needed a place to get refreshments so a brewery it is! We went to Sedona Beer Company. They had a few vegan options listed for food so I was pumped! Several restaurants in town carry Flagstaff’s own Next Veg, which is like a meat substitute but they aren’t actually trying to have it taste like meat. The fries were salt and vinegar and I was in heaven. Our waiter’s girlfriend is vegan so he knew exactly what I could have. So lucky!
We grabbed some merch and headed back up home. On the way, yards from our site, we heard a loud moo. Look at this huge bull that must’ve escaped and found his paradise. We named him Ferdinand 💜
