Anyway, on to my trip to Phoenix. We went to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, Mexico, Phoenix (duh!), and Scotsdale. The Grand Canyon was absolutely amazing. I couldn't see enough of it. I want to go back someday and hike down into the Canyon and camp there. I would so love that! I didn't get to see the canyon at sunset like I'd hoped to, but maybe I can do that in September!
Flagstaff is where we stayed, and we didn't really see too much there, but Sedona was fabulous. The red rocks were just completely breath-taking, another place I would like to camp sometime. The main streets of the city were lined with all of these quaint little shops where you coud find almost anything. I bought my mother some cactus jelly, and got myself some cactus-scented incense.
Mexico was not what I expected. I guess I wanted to go into more of the shops, but since we got there so late in the day, I didn't get to. I didn't know that everything closed up at like 6pm. I did manage to find my mexican blanket, my authentic Kahlua, and a bottle of tequila (complete with worm) for a friend while I was there. I did not, however, find any silver rings to my liking, a small disappointment. I would have liked to have gone into a bar while I was there, too, and ordered "una cerveza, por favor," but again, next time.
Sunday we just perused a Phoenix mall where I bought some books and played with the puppies in the pet store. And on Monday we went to Old Town Scotsdale, which didn't look that old at all. It was just a bunch of shops clustered together into about 3 blocks. It wasn't bad, though, I did have some last minute souvenirs to buy,
All in all the trip was ok, I definitely needed more time to spend at the places on my list. But again, I guess that will have to wait until next time....
