Nice visit in Sedona

Bob has healed nicely.  So we decided to do something and take a short trip.  We drove north and went to Sedona.  We actually drove through Sedona to Cottonwood.  We visited some all native American ruins.  Very interesting.  I tried to upload some pictures, but had a hard time doing so.  You will just have to take my word for the fact that they were really interesting.  We spent the night in Cottonwood and then took a train ride through the canyons behind Sedona.  Very enjoyable.  We went first class.  So we had really comfortable seats.  We got champagne for a toast as we started.  We had appetizers to snack on that were yummy.  We had our own naturalist to tell us what we were seeing.  The ride took four hours.  Had a great time and got some good pictures. 


We left there and went into Sedona.  We got a hotel room at a resort that backed right up to the most gorgeous view.  (Again I tried to attach some pictures but was unsuccessful.)  We had now been almost 48 hours at an elevation of about 4000 feet.  It was too much for Bob.  We were really close walking distance to a couple of good restaurants.  But he could not do it.  So we drove to a nice Thai restaurant.  That night we sat and watched the State of the Union.  Then Biggest Loser.  that is the most TV we have watched since we have been in Arizona. 


We had thought that we would spend the next day walking through Sedona, but the altitude make it too hard for Bob.  So we took a couple of fascinating driving tours, and then headed down the mountain.  We spent the night at a casino.  We gambled for a few hours that evening and the next morning.  We lost a total of $5 and had a great time. 


We got home in time to pick up our new cushions for the dining area.  We did not get one of them because they had made a mistake and had to order more fabric.  But the others are in place and look really nice.  They did a good job.  (We are keeping the old ones so that we have some to put in when Alex visits next week.  Then I want get nervous about him spilling on the news ones.)


Bob has had a hard time recovering from three days of a lesser amount of oxygen.  Finally tonight he is starting to feel better.


I am proud that even though we ate out all of our meals I did not put on any weight.  I am working hard at getting back down to my ideal weight.  Five more pounds to go.


Sigh.
