Church and a hike

 Today, my last day in AZ, we went back to the Red Rock Café and again I got eggs Benedict. 

Then Jim and I went to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sedona that meets in the synagogue. People were so friendly! It was a longer service than usual because a member turned 96 and was moving to Idaho. Also,  they had 10 new members! The synagogue was lovely and so was the view. The minister, Rev. Anthony Mtuaswa Johnson, seemed like a very nice man. His sermon titled "Future Humans, Human Futures" about A.I., didn't do much for Jim and I. 

We sang "If I Only Had a Brain" from the Wizard of Oz, lyrics by Yip Harburg. What a fun song to sing!

Then we took the trailhead shuttle to Cathedral rock trail. It was a short .3 miles to the magnificent sight. No, we did not try to climb to the top or near it. Why bother when the view was so wonderful where we were?

Then we took a trail in the wrong direction but ended up at some lovely water, probably the Oak Creek again.

The many maniacs bicycling the trail, or trying to, did not add to a tranquil atmosphere. 

SIFF is happening here, the Sedona International Film Festival, and we have tickets to see the new movie, "Joan Baez: I am a Noise" tonight!

We stopped for dinner at The Hudson which has a great view! 

At the movie theatre they had a lot of pirate skeletons dressing up the outside area. 

The movie was good except for the woman in front of me filming the film with her cell phone.  Weird!
