We drove around the beautiful Sedona park and stopped as a first thing at a place called Sliding Rocks. Luckily for us we were the first ones there because we got there early. We didn’t know it was a very popular place amongst locals and tourists. Sliding Rocks is a natural water park were the streams from the mountains have created a natural oasis of little pools, slides and places you can jump off of in the hot summertime. It’s an amazing place that can’t be described until you see it with you own eyes. After we had splashed around there for a while and there was too many people we decided to continue our journey. We drove to Montesumas Castle which is an old native settlement that is built right into the walls of a great cliff. It has been abandoned for many, many centuries and is now just being upkept as a museum. It was really interesting to see and quite an amazing piece of construction created all by hand by the natives that once lived on the plains around the area. The only problem was that it was so extremely hot that it was almost impossible to breathe let alone walk around in the sun. Then we drove to Flagstaff were Maria had to get off so she could go back to L.A. by train. After she had gotten the train and we had our goodbyes we headed straight towards Albuquerque. On the way we saw the biggest comfirmed meteor crater in the world. It was here that the early tests for the first space travelers took place as it is the place on earth where the environment most closely reminds of what is found on our moon. We stopped midway at Motel 6 for the night as we were tired and decided this was best.
