Holiday Road Trip: Arizona

After saying goodbye to Aaron and Alicia we drove down to Arizona. We traveled through part of Monument Valley and into Flagstaff. Evidence of recent snow storms could be seen by the hastily-plowed lanes and high piles of slush everywhere. It was all melting fairly quickly in the 50-degree temperatures. At our Motel there was a car completely blocked from view by six-foot piles of plowed snow. We went to an afternoon movie before seeking microbrews at the Beaver Street Brewery. After a very satisfying meal and comparable beers (the red ale was particularly good) I went to bed soon while Hans checked the mileage for the rest of our trip.
