Shortest Drive of the Trip

We took the scenic route through Oak Creek Canyon which took us about an hour to arrive in Sedona.  Sedona was bustling holiday vacationers and we joined the crowds.  We walked around a little bit taking in the sun and shops before we settled in our home in West Sedona for the holidays.  Mariposa Latin Inspired Kitchen is the latest hot spot with beautiful views of the red rocks.  We started with drinks; Smoky Pear and the Mariposa and the Aton ceviche appetizer.  Sushi grade yellowfin poke, avocado, mango chili salsa, bibb lettuce, chipotle aioli, crispy shoestring potatoes.  I created a ceviche wrap out of the bibb lettuce and it was amazing.  We loved the Smoky Pear - the pink drink on the right the most out our three drinks.  The third drink was the Pricky Pear Swizzle.  Too much fizzle swizzle - a soda like cocktail.  We ordered the three empanadas and the funghi sublime flatbread which was a small flavorful pizza with a mushroom medley, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, chevre, gorgonzola and white truffle oil.
