Culture shock....
First time in Arizona for 25 years. We went to Prescott for about a week. Noticed lots of senior citizens in this town. We were two of them.
Other things observed:
1. Cheaper booze, particularly wine at 1/2 to 2/3 price of back home.
2. Great service wherever we went -hotels, restaurants.
3. Great Mexican food.
4. No bus service, many cars and fewer sidewalks. When we talked to a few of the walkers, a couple wanted to sell us real estate!
5. Great food products - spent $$$ at Trader Joes. Cheaper than Canada.
6. Friendly people - discussions ranged from health care to uh well real estate.
7. Good hiking trails outside of town.
8. Inside town hiking trails' exits are spiked to prevent non payment.
Would definitely go back to Prescott.
Just a comment about Phoenix. An awful lot of traffic. Rentacar strategically located on the north side of town - N Black Canyon for a quick exit to leave Dodge.
Garmin Gps mandatory to help navigate our trusty Nissan Sentra.I asked for a Ford Focus but got the Sentra instead.
Papadeau's was a great seafood restaurant on Black Canyon - menu ranges from frogs legs, alligator to soft shelled crabs.Saw only 3 Porsches all week and two of them were Caymans. Anyway thanks Prescott/Phoenix for a great holiday. Pics maybe later!
