Hello from Sedona!

We have been so busy since arriving in Sedona that I've had no time to update. So sorry.

We picked up our dear friends John and Hannah at the airport in Flagstaff on Friday afternoon. Then took them to lunch at the fabulous and famous Cowboy Club in downtown Sedona. Famous for it's cactus fries and buffulo burgers. But also for it's past patrons. It is one of the oldest establishments in the Sedona area, made a popular hotsot by the film entertainment industry back in the days of black and white, silent pictures and white horse, hero ridding westrns. It was much cheapers to film westerns in Sedona than it was in Hollywood in the 1920's and 30's so many a director, actor and starlet could be found sitting by the fire hashing out a script at the Cowboy Club. In fact, it was in front of the fireplace that the Cowboy Artists of America was founded.

Back in the day, when someone said, "saddle up to the bar", it was easy to do at the Cowboy Club. Real saddles were mounted and modified for use as bar stools. Though they have been replaced with the more traditional bar stool, the Cowboy Club is a place you don't want to miss if your ever in Sedona. The atmosphere is buzzing with the energy of yesteryears silverscreen cowboys, the food is hearty and tasty, and the customer service is top notch.

After lunch, we headed over to Bell Rock, one of the known vortexes in the Oak Creek area. After about a 10 minute climb, we stumbled into a pocket of energy that was "like a mirage" as John described it. It was several small pockets in a larger area that seemed to kind of "hang" or "hoover", simililar in some sense to how a mirage might appear to someone. So that was a very good description. We all went seperate directions for a while for some alone time on the rock, then came back to this area of energy. Each of us had a very pround and personal experience within it. All in all it was a very good day for our friends on their first day in Sedona. And any day in Sedona, is a good day for us :)
