Spring Break Desert Adventure in Sedona, AZ ποΈπ vol. 1
How do extroverts recharge? π Day 1 β Mountain Hiking! β°οΈ π Subway Cave ππππππ Woke up before sunrise and devoured an overly sweet croissant from the motel ownerβfelt energetic enough to march all the way to Lhasa π We parked at Boynton Trailhead. As someone with zero sense of direction, I strictly followed Apple Mapsβ hiking route all the way πΊοΈ. With some asking around and trusting our instincts, we made it in about 2.5 hours (RIP to the little fox we saw along the way π₯Ή). We climbed into the cave using both hands and feetβlight rain began to fall, and the majestic view of the distant valleys almost made me want to take a βleap of faithβ (my friend was terrified lol). The rock wall in P8 was even steeper IRLβI gave up after a brief attempt and ended up sliding down on my butt like I was skiing πΏπ Sometimes the best way down is to just embrace the slide! As for the famous energy vortexπ? Who knowsβbut sitting there chatting and relaxing with friends was the best recharge ever π₯³. π The Angle Kitchen & Japanese Market πππ Starving after the hike, we tried this Japanese casual dining spot. Wait was long, curry was just okay, but the fried ramen was decent. We cleaned our plates anyway! π Sedona Airport Scenic Lookout Breathtaking panoramic view of the town and rock formations. The town looked like it was built from Legos! Wouldβve been even more magical at sunsetβif the wind didnβt blow us away π¨ π Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante Italiano πππ Went for a mysterious Italian fine dining experienceβ¦ but it kinda backfired π Lobster pasta was saltier than kimchi, lamb chops were overcooked, but the salmon saved the day. With mains around $40-50, the value wasnβt really there. The dining was βfine,β but my wallet wasnβt fine πΈ Fully recharged πβready for tomorrow! #Foodie #DesertVibes #Arizona #SpringBreak #StudyAbroad #Sedona #TravelDiaries π΅πΈβ¨
