Left Albuquerque at 9:00 a.m. anddrove 476 miles today. Went to the Snowflake temple. It is very beautiful but out in the middle of no where. Don't know what people do there for work. We had lunch at Arby's which we haven't eaten at in years. The only other place to eat was McDonalds, or pizza. Not one resturant I would find.
There is a new upscale housing tract by the temple and I am sure most of them are mormons. Beautiful, gigantic homes. This part of Arizona and all of New Mexico is not very pretty, Nevada even looks better. When we came into Flagstaff the scenry changed dramatically. It is very pretty. There was a big beer brewfest in town and it took us a long time to find a room. We were able to walk to a small diner for dinner, and I had some really good liver/onions yumm!!!
What do you mean, "even Nevada looks better"!! There is a beauty about the desert that you learn to appreciate ...
ReplyDeleteYou haven't mentioned much about the weather lately so you must not have had too much trouble avoiding storms, tornados, etc.
Are you going to the Grand Canyon while you are in Flagstaff? You can also follow a lot of Route 66 from Flagstaff to California. If you haven't been to Lake Havasu, it's not much off Hwy 40 at the AZ, CA border. I can also recommend a Mexican restaurant north of Needles but I don't remember the name :-( Also, old route 66 can take you through the town of Oatman where wild burros roam the street. It's interesting. You'd probably need to stay in Needles or nearby to do Lake Havasu & Oatman. Just a few ideas .....
