Homeward Bound

We are finally back in Korea.  After nearly six months of traveling and living out of suitcases, we have a new (to us) apartment in Cheongdam.  We can get back to a regular schedule, and settle back into work and school.  We'll have pictures up soon enough.

We took another short trip, this time to Sedona.  We didn't get pictures of the drive down, but it was awesome.  You lose elevation extremely quickly coming from the north through a series of switchbacks on 89A.  We got into Sedona before noon and did a little shopping.  We didn't go into the museum, but they had a Sedona film museum detailing all the westerns that were shot in and around Sedona.  We saved the hiking for the next day.  These pictures were taken around our hotel.

We did two big hikes for the day.  The first one was at Red Rock State Park.  It's a nature reserve, so it was more of a long walk than a real hike.  The second hike was to see Cathedral Rock.  This was more of a true hike with more gains in elevation over a shorter distance.

After the two larger hikes, we drove back via scenic Highway 179 where we did another short hike.  It's one of the shortest scenic highways in Arizona, but the views are great.  Sedona was definitely worth the trip and we would like to go back in the future.
