More Tales from Foreign Lands

I saw the Grand Canyon with my brother and sister-in-law on my recent trip. On the way back from there to Phoenix, we took the scenic route, via Sedona and Jerome. Jerome was quite nice, although its main attraction was that it was a ghost town, and now that they've got a thriving tourist industry, it's no longer a ghost town, which means it's no longer really a tourist destination (which, of course, will turn it back into a ghost town, which will make it a tourist attraction, which will destroy the attraction for tourists, which...)

Sedona was a resort town not far away, with plenty of the weird and alien rock formations that used to appear in Roadrunner cartoons. Toffee apples were common in some shops (it was close to halloween) but I was quite stunned at the variety of flavours that toffee apples can apparently be. Here's a sample we saw in one shop window:

Peanut Toffee Apple
Macadamia Toffee Apple
Walnut Toffee Apple
Cashew Toffee Apple
Pecan Toffee Apple
Candy Toffee Apple
Choc Peanut Toffee Apple
Caramel Toffee Apple
Mudslide Toffee Apple
Rocky Road Toffee Apple
English Toffee Toffee Apple
Choc Chip Toffee Apple
Oreo Toffee Apple
M & M Toffee Apple
Apple Pie Toffee Apple
Snowball Toffee Apple
Cheesecake Toffee Apple



The song that got annoyingly stuck in my head today:
Pineapple Head, as sung by Natalie Imbruglia on an otherwise awesome album my lady friend got me.
