Breakfast at the Toasted Owl - I had beef tamales with green sauce on a bed of greens, black beans, and 2 eggs over medium. I feel like this was a good decision.
Travel to Sedona - The drive there was epic with views that are amazing. Stopped by Winery 1912 and had a glass of Garnacha which is a very good red wine. Walked around town a bit and it reminds me of Gatlinburg. Went to Sedona Brewing and had a Kolschture Shock, this may have been the best beer I've had yet on the trip.
Dinner at Salsa Brava - Justin ate what Guy ate, I had the street tacos, underwhelmed. We went to Beaver Street Brewery, but I didn't have a beer, because I already had the trifecta of wine, beer, and a margarita.
