Anyway, I have never been in this part of the country before. It is very foreign to me. I have been to Columbia, Brazil and China, and this part of the country looks more like on of those regions more than the United States. The brown mountains really looks a lot like Amy's province of Gansu in China. Lots of dirt, lots of mountains, not much green. The streets are very well manicured and are lined with trees and bushes, so it feels a little better. We could not even tell the neighborhoods from the shopping centers because they all looked the same to us! Low stucco buildings with gravel and cacti for landscaping. Very sad that I did not bring a camera, so I have no pictures to post. :-( The weather is perfect. Apparently it's always perfect. No clouds, no rain, always sunny, always warm. The church did a lot of things outside. No lobby, they pulled the snack bar and tables and info booth outside every sunday. All the classrooms opened up to the outside walkway, no indoor hallways. All very different to us.
We drove up to Sedona last night. That was beautiful. We got to see the sun set over those red rock formations. Again, MAN I wish I had my camera. We did snap pictures with our cell phones, so maybe some of those will look ok. Well, the plane is finally boarding. so maybe we will be on our way to Houston soon.
