Dusty Aftermath Isn't That Country Girl You Sat Behind in Home Ec Class

Not to belabor the whole thing, but I am still shocked at the dust storm last night.  EVERYTHING in the city is COVERED in dust... it's in the air, and you can still taste it.  It's something that I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around, especially after seeing the photos of the 15 mile high wall of dust below from some of the local news shows. 


With all the ruckus, I had a hard time getting to sleep last night, plus I was on eastern time... so I didn't get much sleep.  They have a great breakfast buffet downstairs... and I'm getting myself cleaned up and ready to go onto the next adventure.  I'm back at this hotel next Monday before I fly out... it's amazing for $47.00 a night.  Clean, modern and great customer service.  If you're ever here in Phoenix, I'd highly recommend the 3 Palms Hotel... just not during a dust storm.

I'll probably switch days from what I planned... instead of Sedona, where there is so much to see in every direction and I have to figure it out... I'm going to just head to the hotel in Flagstaff, unload and drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon.  There, I'll take some pictures and do a car tour of the entire south rim.  Tomorrow, once I've had some time to figure it out and with it being right near the hotel, I'll get up early and check out Sedona.  I'm not in any hurry today... I'm looking forward to getting in the car with the desert in front of me and just see what's out there.
