Fivesday to ninesday!

ARIZONA! Finally we are somewhere warm! I busted out my sandals today for the first time.

On fivesday we passed away the day until Sarah arrived on the Greyhound back from Calgary and dealing with her passport issues. She had to apply for a new one and it was hectic but it seems like everything should work out. We got through the US border (although that was pretty nerve racking) and that was monumental for us! We drove through the night until about 7am. Slept a couple hours and drove all day till we arrived at Salt Lake City at 9pm on sixday. We stayed with a couchsurfer host (thanks Devin and puppies!) we were thankful to sleep inside as it was pretty chilly that night. He helped us get up early and we drove all day to get to Arizona.

 So grateful we got up early because we drove through Zion National Park just as the sun was setting. So beautiful! I wanted to go another route that was shorter but missed the turn off but I'm so glad because that meant we drove through this park! First time seeing a red road.

Drove on into a little town Page, Arizona. Slept in a Wal Mart parking lot again and woke up to this view>
Mini Grand Canyon!

This day we drove to Flagstaff, Arizona where Wal Mart employees helped us out to run an extension cord out their door so we could plug in for the night and use a heater!!! That saved our butt since it was super cold and snowy. I never thought we'd see snow in Arizona! Flagstaff is just super high elevation. We drove down from here to Sedona, Arizona. Took a nice hike around Bell Rock to an area with a calming energy vortex. More pics to come from that. We are now in Pheonix staying with some cool cats in an artsy funky communal house. Woke up to plus 22 degrees, we have now officially broken out our shorts!!
Life is hard.
