2 August 2010 - Sedona, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff



Got up early early this morning to be in the restaurant for breakfast by about 6:15am. I got a bit worried during breakfast that maybe the time-zones had changed and we were running late, but of course we weren't. Linda our Tour Director explained that Arizona doesn't do daylight saving, so in winter time there's an hour difference between Los Angeles and Phoenix, but in summertime they're on the same time.
We were all on the bus on time - first place we went was Sedona. It's a beautiful, charming place (although I spent too much money there, of course). The second picture above is Sedona.
Then, on to the Grand Canyon. Paul and I did a helicopter ride over the canyon. It's an astounding and beautiful view - although unfortunately with the glare of the sun, most of the photos I took are full of reflections of my clothes. Afterwards we all met back at the South Rim of the canyon for more sightseeing - and money-spending.
I bought two pieces of jewellery today - both contemporary Hopi Indian designs. I got a bracelet and a ring, both very nice (well, I think they are anyway).
Tonight we're spending the night in Flagstaff before moving on to Las Vegas tomorrow!
