We underestimated the trip to our destination. We underestimated by about 4 hours. It took us 12 hours on the road. We got lost twice. And we hit rain and thunderstorms.
We stopped in Prescott, Sedona, and Flagstaff. All those places are fantastic. If you haven't been, then you should go. At the moment, we're spending our weeks worth of vacation in Pinetop, AZ. Feels a lot like hume. We're in the mountains 7000 ft high and listening to far off thunder knowing it's coming our way. We're taking a trip to Albuquerque probably on saturday abd we also want to see the petrified forest. Funny isn't that? Petrified forest. reminds me of Harry Potter. Maybe the forest looked into a mirror or a camera and saw the snake... i'm weird, i know.
The music that soundtrack'ed yesterday made me cry. We were climbing the hill to Jerome on the way to Sedona and there were trees and just these scenic views everywhere. The colors were changing and we were riding on this winding road. I put in Damien Rice and listened to Cannonball and I started to tear.
"Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball"
And it got me thinking about the irony of life. There are people, places, and things that teach the opposite of what they are. It takes a road trip to realize how much of a bubble i've been living in. Damien rice is so right. So So Right.
But anyways, I'm in love with his O album right now. Amazing.
Till next time. =)
