California Livin' Series: City of Sedona, Arizona
Hello again! It's your friendly biweekly California Livin' post! On this fine day we will take the trek one (or two?) states over to Arizona, where Daylight Savings Time isn't a thing anymore (RIP late summer sunsets).
Let's start with a list of things you will find among the many tourist attractions of Sedona.
Crystal rocks. Crystals. Lots and lots of crystal shops. People selling crystals in crystal shops.
Psychics. "Aura photographs". UFO tours. Astrology readings. Chakra balancings. Shamanic healings.
Glass candles. Many hand painted glass candles. Glass candles that glow in the dark but don't smell. Most likely sold in the shop next to the crystal shop.
Stores selling what can only be described as "desert clothes". Also popular in Palm Springs.
Native American jewelry yet no actual Native Americans. (This gets a little political so I'll leave it at that.)
What else can you find in Sedona? Red rocks. Lots and lots of red, red rocks.
There are several vortexes in Sedona that supposedly emit positive vibrations and masculine or feminine energies if you're susceptible to that kind of thing. Me? I actually came home and relapsed in my Lyme Disease. So much for healing properties.
They have this huge church on a big red rock but not one of us tourists could figure out how to get up there.
More stuff to be found in Sedona: tourists. Tourists everywhere. Also, a lot of red and tan buildings. Adobe buildings. Basically a gentrified Old-West town cum nu-Mexican pueblo town if you can picture that.
Surprisingly few cacti, or as I like to call them, "acne of the desert."
Last but not least, horrible angry tourist drivers for some reason. You're on vacation in a resort town and you mad bro? Mk then. Maybe it's cus the cuisine here is too healthy (and white-washed) to taste good.
