We spent our last day in Sedona visiting two National Monuments.
This is called Montezuma Well...even though it was discovered years later that the Apaches never lived in this area. But it was a great place for early people to live....1.5 million gallons of water come into the well every day!
This is Montezuma Castle.
The rooms were five storeys high!

Momma had visited Jerome, an historic copper mining town, in the '70's...and it hasn't changed much since then. But she and dad had a great "haunted hamburger!" She still has a copper bracelet she bought here.
We had to drive up very steep roads to reach Jerome, located on Cleopatra Hill, with an elevation of 5,200 feet!
At 5 pm momma and dad went to a Taize service in the Chapel of the Holy Cross. I wish I could have gone to see this church built right into the rocks.
The Stations of the Cross, like the entire chapel, were very simple.
Prayer candles were brought up during the service.

The view out the back----They said this was a very special place!
What a wonderful way to spend your Birthday weekend and Mattie seems to be enjoying herself too!! Sedona and your pictures are beautiful and that Church was VERY special! I would love to attend a Church like that every week!!
