Flagstaff

On our way north, Thursday 10/26, from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon Matt and I stayed with Ric and Dawn in Flagstaff. Ric took us on a 9 mile trail which only gave us a taste of all there is to explore. Roch and Catherine joined us there and Ian T made an appearance at dinner. Ric out did himself with Jureker tempeh tacos and black bean salad. True to form I brought dessert and we were all still full from great/funny conversation and too much food the next morning. That didn't stop Roch, Catherine, Matt and I from heading downtown to check out Macy's for breakfast and coffee - a great little European coffee house/restaurant. We walked around town, checked out the museum, bought pumpkin pies and continued north to the canyon. It was great to see displays and explanations of how the canyon was formed and artifacts from the different time periods these rocks represent. Like I mentioned in my birthday write up; seeing this makes one realize how little time mankind has really been on this earth. Flag is a must see town.
