Current mood: accomplished
This time last weekend found me on the road in either New Mexico or Texas on my way to Arizona. I have had a strong desire to go to Sedona since right before the New Year. I originally was going to go to New Jersey to see my most favorite artist, Gato Barbieri, in concert. However, the combination of bad weather along the route (yes, I was going to drive) and a romantic concert attended solo when I would prefer to have someone with me didn’t really add up to a good trip idea for me. So I checked out the weather in Sedona and looked at the conditions along the way and decided to go for it. After all, the weather in Sedona was sunny and about 50 degrees whereas New Jersey would have been COLD and the weather along the route would have been COLD.
I made a good decision. The weather was wonderful, the scenery was beautiful and I really came away with a tremendous sense of accomplishment after having driven almost halfway across the country alone. If driving were an Olympic event, I’m sure I would be a serious contender for the gold medal.
I wish that I could have experienced the trip with someone but ultimately it was a trip I really think I needed to take alone. Feel free to enjoy the few photos I posted of my trip.
