Sedona, Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam

Chapel of the Holy Cross

On the way to Flagstaff, we visited Sedona, for me it is the second time. The town has changed tremendously, there are now at least six round-about if I did not lost count. I am sure that the pictures are much better close to sunset to add more reddish colors. The next day we continue to Horseshoe Bend, Glen Canyon Dam and Lower Antelope Canyon.

Mogollon Rim

Mogollon Rim on Forest Road 300

When my former director knew I was coming to Goodyear, Arizona, he prepared a special trip for me to Mogollon Rim via Globe and Show Low. We spent the night in the PineTop area on a cheap motel, just to rest for the night before we headed to the Forest Road 300 for 45 miles of gravel road. What a spectacular views. Enjoy..

Lower Antelope Canyon

Lower Antelope Canyon

I went to Arizona for two weeks, seeking an adventure to this Antelope Canyon, so finally this October I was able to make it down there and with the help of Indra and John who drove to Flagstaff to catch this once in a life time tour of the canyon. Not too many Arizonan knows this place because Grand Canyon in more notable to visit. This place is amazing to say to least and for people with a balance issue is not that easy to go, anyway here it is...

Harvest Day at Bauman Farms

Bauman Farms

On a nice Saturday (no rain), we decided to go and re-visit this farm, over the years this farm has grown and more commercialized, before you just pay if you like to ride something but now you have to pay to get in. Anyway, the farm stills have its charm especially the store that sells fresh apple cider and Apple Cider donuts.

Learning Japanese with native speakers

Japanese native speakers

There isn't a better way to learn any language other than talk and learn from the native speakers, after coming back from Kyoto, I pursue my Japanese study to a high gear. Getting to know these native speakers improve my memory on words and situational conversation.

First Responders Night

SW Bible Church

We come to this event because we have a burning traffic question that we need a clarification from the law enforcement officer on the road. For many years, we just speculate on this question.

Can we make a right turn if we come to an intersection and there is a RED RIGHT ARROW? The answer is YOU CAN only after you make a COMPLETE STOP.

First, we asked this question to the Radar Officer but he is not 100 percent sure, so he sent us to the motorcycle officer. Now we are happy to get the right answer.
