I had a great day of hiking before the snow rolled in, and now things should get interesting (full story to come on Monument Valley and the View Hotel).
I had one goal today: Make it to Sedona before sunset.
Fail.
I passed through Flagstaff with about an hour until twilight, but the clouds and mountains had other plans, ushering in the darkness before its time. Boat in tow, I retreated to Flagstaff where I'm holding up for the night.
Here are some photos of the drive - it truly was beautiful, the green hills of California giving way to the brown, rocky mountains (which are snow covered in Flagstaff).
Even though the dark sky ruined my chance to see and photograph the rock structures in Sedona, it did create an awfully nice sunset. The clouds were all over the place, some streaking and others glowing.
Lake Como, Italy Did you know that three long lakes converge to form Lake Como? Joining the Centro Lago area are the four towns of Bellagio, Tremezzo, Menaggio and Varenna. There is an outdoor market in Como every Tuesday and Thursday morning, and the whole day on Sunday. This is always a great way to interact with the local people and connect.
