Sedona

Boynton Canyon Vortex. 

I am not sure how many of you have heard the stories of the energy vortexes that are all over Sedona but they claim to have a physical and emotional impact that lasts for days after one visits a vortex.  

Alexis was not planning on including A Vortex visit as part of our trip. Once I realized how close we were to one I asked if we could include it in our plan for the day. Begrudgingly, I presume, Alexis agreed.

Once we got there, I believe Alexis was glad we included this in part of our journey.

See how awed Alexis is?

Panoramic view that pales in comparison to being there. 

I was moved to tears.

Is the vortex making me smile?

Do you see the face?

As we were leaving a couple of ladies spoke with us. They concluded that my emotional reaction was an indication that I felt the vortex. 

We left Boynton Canyon and headed on to the chapel built by one of Frank Lloyd Wrights students. 

Chapel of the Holy Cross

See my head?

Upon arrival we met a Latina who was there for a friends wedding. She took this picture of us. 

The view from the chapel. 

The inside of the chapel is unassuming. The interior walls are merely the bare insides of the exterior walls. The chapel  is small but who can beat this location?

Montezumas Castle

A 600 year old cliff dwelling that was originally believed to have been built by the Aztecs. Now it is known that this was built by local Sinagua Natives. 

Up until the 1950's they used to allow people to tour the inside. They provided this diorama to allow us to see what it was like. 

On the way home we saw the bell rock. 

Another stunning view on the way back to our resort. 

The night view from our resort. 

And now I am caught up. Whew.
