Prescott, Arizona

Four coolers of beer to choose from including Quebec brands.

Prescott is a town full of outdoor enthusiasts. My guidebook said it is a good place to live, but a hard place to find work.

We were tired and so we stopped right away at The Raven, a cafe that Ghis and Michelle discovered when they passed through.

It felt more like a pub inside. They had a huge selection of beer and it was happy hour. It was also DJ night, so the music was a bit loud. We did enjoy having a place to sit and hang out and the pizza was good, too.

There was a bit of snow lying around in Prescott, but we slept in the Wal Mart parking lot and weren’t cold at night.

In the morning, we drove another very windy road. I got a bit car sick from riding in the back, and Louise switched places with me for a bit. We descended for a long time until we reached the flat, cactus-filled part of Arizona again. We showed Louise the saguaros, those cacti that we love, and we even climbed under a fence to get close to some.

Each one is unique.
