PEOPLE
We are meeting some interesting people as we travel around and have started saying a prayer for them in the evenings.
Our new friends from this week would include:
Fran – Adrian, TX owner of the Midpoint Café
Peter – From The Netherlands, a biker we met at the Midpoint Café
Jen – Our server at the Flagstaff Brewery, (lunch), she came here 12 years ago from New Hampshire for college and stayed
Pam – From Tennessee, met her on top of a mountain overlooking a volcano in AZ, she was headed to San Francisco to see her son
Lindsey – Prescott, AZ (by way of CA) at the kiosk in the mall
NJ couple at Oak Creek Canyon, AZ – he was excited to use our digital camera to take his first digital picture
Susanna – Sedona, AZ – met her at the Sedona Old Movie Museum
We enjoyed a special treat of seeing:
The Medlin Family – Prescott, AZ – We know Mike and Kimberley from our years in Waxhaw, NC. They were teenagers then and now have 5 great kids! (Thanks guys for a fun afternoon).
Everyone has their story to tell and we are loving the opportunities to listen and share in a few minutes of their lives!
PLACES
We left South Carolina on 10-11 and have traveled through;
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and are currently in Arizona. We visited Sedona and Prescott AZ today, awesome sights of mountains and genuine “cowboy movie” territory. This is truly a big and beautiful country we live in!
THINGS
We have seen numerous road signs while traveling not the least of which have been animal caution signs, (like “Elk the next 22 miles” or “Deer the next 15 miles”). So far though we have only seen the following wild animals:
2 deer in the woods, (small does, no bucks)
1 road kill bunny, (he did look like a big one though)
14 crows, (some of which were dining on the above mentioned hapless specimen)
1 fat skunk, (that I dodged while driving in the car, a near miss but no stink!)
1 unidentified small road kill in the high desert of AZ on the Navajo Reservation
2 barking dogs outside a restaurant where we ate lunch in Flagstaff, AZ, (they barked a while then started in on expanding their canine family!)
Enough of the noun lesson for tonight. Tomorrow, (Monday 10-20), we head to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon via the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams, AZ. I’ll try not to fall in!
