Later we went on another sight-seeing adventure. We drove west of 89A to Old Town Cottonwood. It was famous for prohibition era, 1920 - 1933 bootlegging.
It is a quaint place with restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, hotel, antiques and wine cellars. There was so many things to take pictures of Route 89 1950's garage, old cars, store fronts, the streets for just a few.
There was a boutique that sold funky hats. Lorraine tried a few on but when she checked the price and wondered what and where she would wear it, as well as her need for a manicure and pedicure to compliment the hat, it was easy to put it back on the shelf and walk on.
We stopped in the Verde Valley Olive Oil Traders store where many varieties of olive oil and balsam vinegars were sold. Now we have an oil spritzer and mango jalapeno jelly.
At an old car dealership-garage-rock-bead and rugs store, Lorraine bought a 'Maya pattern' wool runner, made in India, with a note on the tag saying 'not made by native American Indians' .
From there we went to the Tuzigoot National Monument. This Sinague pueblo was the home of the Native American population who inhabited this area 800 years ago. We walked around the 101 stone rooms that had been excavated in the 1930s..
On our way back we stopped at the Cottonwood Wine Cellar, tasted three types of wine and purchased a bottle of red wine.
So much for our tourist sight seeing and shopping!
So until next time remember to “Discover It and Live It”.
