We spent a couple of hours yesterday in Sedona that is at 4500 ft. We climbed back to Flagstaff. I did not sleep at all that night and got up with a wicked headache and nausea. I have another bout of this altitude sickness. Of course mild symptoms but still annoying . It was also calling for rain at the Grand Canyon so we decided to putter around Flagstaff instead, to also give a chance to my body to acclimate itself to the altitude. Avoid alcohol and drink a lot of water is the most recommended treatment from most people. Diamox would have been a medication that could of help if it would have been taken before coming to Flagstaff . I hope to feel better for Grand Canyon tomorrow. Right now a fast walk and I am short of breath like I ran a marathon...
I did enjoy the respite from the road here in Flagstaff. The old downtown is beautiful and full of little bar, coffee shop, souvenir shop etc... We stopped at a great place called the lumberyard brewery. Good food at a reasonable price. The place was packed.
So that is it for tonight. Hope that tomorrow I feel good enough to take the road. Grand Canyon is about 1 hour 1/2 from Flagstaff.
Bye folks.
Renee
