Day 4--Amarillo to Sedona

We drove and drove on I-40 today, across the rest of the Texas panhandle, across all of New Mexico, and into Arizona.  I think (I hope!) this will be our longest day of driving.  Since I’m the one who schedules our trips, I have only myself to blame.  My goal was to arrive in Sedona this evening, which we did.  Here are a few photos of our travels today. 



 

I love watching the scenery change.  I like it when it’s flat for miles in every direction.  I like it when there are rolling hills.  Mountains and mesas are wonderful.  I like it all.  However, arriving in Sedona and seeing the red rock formations all around is just breathtaking.  We were suddenly surrounded by the most beautiful, deep, orange-red colors.  Quite outstanding!  I’m tempted to whine a bit about our spotty-to-nonexistent wireless internet connection, but I’m not in the mood to be grumpy.  Our room has a little balcony which faces east.  After dinner, we stood on the balcony and watched the bright full moon rise right in front of us.  We took several pictures of it, but none of them were as pretty as the real sight.
