Dec 27-Road to Sedona (Part II)

We started the day early and headed for the ghost town of Jerome - famous billion dollar copper mine all but deserted now. They say it is a town full of artisans and writers - but honestly, all we saw were old rundown buildings. We did see something that was odd there. The car we had rented had Arizona plates on it and the license plate number was something like 308TLZ. When we came out of the Jerome Visitor Center there was another identical rental car parked right next to us and it's tag number was 310TLZ. Same make, model, and color. Coming out of a place labeled as a ghost town I thought it odd. But it was just a coincidence.












Then we went to a place called Tuzigoot National Monument where we got to walk around a real pueblo that was made by the Secagua Indians in the 1300's. That was very interesting.


Afterward, we headed over to Red Rock Crossing where we took some amazing pics of Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock.
Then we went back into Sedona proper. We thought we would see some cool shopping places but it was 99% tourist trinkets and hard-core pushy resort salespeople. So we left and headed for Tucson, our next stop.
We arrived in Tucson and headed to a restaurant called Takamatsu. We have no idea how good or bad the food will be but it turned put great until Emi found some egg in her food. LOL!
Our hotel was only two miles away so we called it a night after that.
