I stopped at Sunset Point to stretch my legs a bit, like I did on my way to Prescott. But this time, instead of being mixed up and heading back towards Phoenix when I got back on the freeway, I asked for directions from a fellow traveler. I knew which way I wanted to head, but I didn't know how to find the freeway entrance. "Just follow me," he said. It was music to my ears.
As I got closer to my destination, I stopped again... it was one of those scenic views. I tried to capture my first glimpse of the red rock....
....and snapped a few pictures. Can you see the hint of color?
I ran into lots of construction in Sedona. They are doing a major overhaul on their streets. It's really going to be nice when they finish.
Also, I had heard from the lady at the motel that there were now numerous 'roundabouts' at the intersections in town. Soooo.... before I left home, I googled 'roundabouts', found some sites that explained what they were and had video lessons to help drivers learn how to negotiate these traffic patterns.
After a crash course in Roundabouts 101, I headed out, ready to put into practice all I had learned. THANK GOODNESS I had read up on them and had an idea of what lane I needed to travel in to make my left turns!
Tomorrow I get to ride in a jeep... on the road.... not off road!

I had my first experience with a "roundabout" one summer when I went with Jack and Carol Martin to work in Woods Hole, MA. I was following Jack when we entered one, and I ended up going roundabout a couple of times before I could get off. He waited by the side of the road, thank goodness. This was before the days of Mr. G's.
Sometimes (or usually) learning is painful and embarassing!
