Sunday, 28 September 2001, late afternoon...
| We had stopped for coffee (drugs!) to break the journey home and decided we also needed a little constitutional to let the caffeine do its work and stretch our limbs. We rapidly found that the afternoon was so beautiful, especially the quality of the light and the pleasant temperature that we wound up walking for quite a while. |
| We paused in the town square because an enthusiastic local brass band were playing wonderful mellow jazz at us. |
| Flagstaff is famous for being a rail town. It is unusual that we pass through without hearing at least one endlessly rumbling train pass by with the inevitable and curiously American hooting. The old train station is now a tourist information centre but still charming on the exterior. |
| Look real bricks! This is the honoured building right next to the town square which houses the magnificent (if expensive) restaurant 'Downunder' where we ate so well the previous Friday. |
| Our stroll took us places we had not been before. We discovered 'The Pesto Brothers' Italian restaurant (closed) which looks extremely promising and will merit further investigation. Next door in a Thai restaurant we found a flyer for Morgan-Le-Fay who we subsequently saw play in the Irish Pub (no, it's really nice actually), Rula Bula in Tempe Alas we also found another art gallery, a co-operative of independent artists. Very nice. |
