    Cocina Chiwas

    December 5, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

    For our big date night, Bill found this James Beard winner. It was a little cold at first but the waitress clearly loves working for the family and the food was a-MAZING! And so much food.

    We had the roasted mushrooms and polenta, the mussels with chorizo and the pork shank. The mushroom dish was multi layered and soft and comforting, the mussels should have been called the chorizo with mussels and was so much we used it for breakfast the next 3 days, and the fall-off-the-bone pork shank was a Sunday family dinner!

    So much amazing food and so many flavors.

  • Bell rock

    December 7, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F

    Seen from many different angles and perspectives, Bell Rock (or the Apache name which translates to “Red Rock Sticking Up” is one of the most iconic sites around Sedona.

  • Chapel of the Holy Cross

    December 7, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    A very wealthy woman got the notion to build a Catholic Church in a special place. Wealthy people can do that. She started to do it in Hungary and things didn’t work out. Sedona was the lucky place.

    It is a stunning building and the crucifix is both beautiful and creepy. The rocks around it are amazing and the monstrous house that was apparently built by the guy who stared LASIK is hard to ignore.

  • Schnebly Hill Road

    December 7, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    We took a short drive off the main road and were blessed with more lovely views and a mountain that reminded me of a ship.

    The rest of the road is not recommended without a 4 wheel vehicle.

  • Tailgates

    December 8, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    The Cardinals have an awesome tailgating area and their fans were soooo friendly and kind. We met a great guy from Seattle who was living the weather and we talked for probably half an hour about different stadiums.
    Another group at the Cardinal Cantina invited us to their shrimp boil and offers us shots and a beer. Just kind warm people.

  • Sapphire lounge

    December 10, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    Trying on the expensive but touted as beneficial Chase Sapphire Reserve card. We had to wait to get in, but some free drinks and lunch made it worth while. I would have preferred to select my own seat and not be at the bar in weird stools but it was good for a first time.Read more
