Norte
June 5th
I took a break from the heat and escaped to northern Arizona for the day, stirring up trouble in my old college haunts.
Such as La Bellavia, where they serve the very best pancakes in the world. (Swedish, with blueberries and applesauce)
And downtown, where I could spend my salary in the blink of an eye at Babbit’s.
Then there was Sedona, with it’s galleries, gardens and sweet scent. There is the most calming, peaceful perfume that hangs near the cottonwood-lined Oak Creek. I could sit and listen to the water trickle, curled up in the shade, all afternoon. Or, I could go to Oaxaca for margaritas on the patio. And a burrito.
{And yes, apparently by “old college haunts,” I meant a bakery and a Mexican restaurant. I guess some things never change.}
It is incredible what a brief change of scenery does for my perspective.

Sedona Rocks!
We’re lucky those beautiful places are such a short drive away!
Such beautiful photos, thanks for sharing them.
Looks like a great trip – very different from my college town, but lovely regardless!
So envious of your getaway! As you know, Sedona is a very spiritual and calming place for me too. Love the photos! Hope you have an equally calm and peaceful weekend complete with more pancakes and Mexican food!
Kelli, thanks for the awesome virtual day trip! XO
