.....Well this is an exciting
prospect... a little scary too! More than a little, because I have not ever traveled and explored on my own.
.....Lots of experience being the passenger though. Navigation and map skills, plus reading the street signs... that's been my forte. But I'm
alone now. (Read more about it at
"My Widow's Walk")

.....This is a whole new thing for me. Yet.... never fear! I have a friend, and he gives me confidence. He will help me if I get lost (which I will, as past experience shows), patiently talk me through my mistakes, misunderstandings, and miscalculations.
....."Who is this wonderful helper?" you ask. [continued at right - "Wonderful Helper???"]

Howdy Partner!!!

Morning broke bright and sunny.... I ate breakfast.... and at the appointed time my escort arrived, not on a horse, but in a red jeep! Howdy Partner.... it was Cowboy Dan!


And guess what??? I was the only passenger! So mine was a private personalized ride. He showed me the sites, told me the lore, taught me the biology and geology of the area, AND he didn't drive too fast! I had lots of time to take pictures and ask questions, and laugh at his jokes. Take a look at what I saw!














Later in the morning, after my jeep tour, Mr. Gee and I went to an area of unique shops and artisan's galleries... Tlaquepaque. I explored there for a while and then had lunch at The Secret Garden. It was a cozy little place with a garden nestled in-between the shops.







Then, negotiating all the roundabouts, I headed back to Baby Quail Inn. Later in the evening, I ate my dinner at the famous Olde Sedona Bar and Grill.

I'll be heading home in the morning.
