I See Your Sedona and Raise You a Santa Fe
“Sedona is the pretty girl you always wanted to date. Santa Fe is marriage material.” — James
Listen to full episode :
In this episode, our young explorers depart Zion with a surly dog and are met with a storm. And then a sandstorm. Despite the whiteout, they find their way through Navajo markets into the red-soiled, "new age" Utopia you all know as Sedona, AZ. Denise is super excited because she uses phrases like "Mercury is in retrograde" all the time.
At any rate, after she drops a few crystal bombs on James and has him doing things he wouldn't normally do... like mountain freaking yoga... and fat-farm hypnosis... they have a few good meals, check out a few good hikes and find a few good shops. But overall, meh.
On to Santa Fe, then, where the real enchantment begins. Between the Southwestern grub and the downtown plaza, James is stunned to find something around every corner that he loves, while Denise and her friends say, "Told ya." From the atomic flavor of Los Alamos National Laboratory to the rolling meadows of Eldorado, your two favorite middle-aged children leave no stone unturned (thanks to some really helpful tips from Jenny Parks at LANL Foundation) and actually EXTEND A DAY in Santa Fe.
***From James: PLEASE check out my new friend Chris Hoski's profile @sfsilver925 on IG and show him some love. Denise bought me (with my own card) a very cool ring you can find on @skiptownjames on IG, too. Chris is an artisan and is on that grind making one-of-a-kind jewelry and all of his Navajo love is poured into each piece. He creates, he ships and he scores. One of our best finds at the Palace of the Governors in Downtown Santa Fe... and not just because he invited us to his house for a tour and margaritas! We're coming back to take you up on that offer, Chris!
