Day Six: The Turquoise Room, La Posada Hotel

It's one of those grand hotels that movie stars and celebrities stayed at. It's on the railway line and Route 66 too. It's La Posada Hotel, in Winslow ("standing on the corner") Arizona. We ate a late dinner in the Turquoise Room. It was definitely top-notch gourmet dining. The signature soup was delicious. On one side of the bowl it's corn, on the other, black beans. On both sides, it was delicious! We also had tastes of elk, buffalo, beef, quail, you name it. A memorable culinary experience!

We began our day at the included-buffet at the lovely Santa Rosa Holiday Inn Express. Lunch, we really didn't have, we just snacked on bananas and cookies.

Our day included a tour of Albuquerque Old Town and also a visit to "Sky City", an Indian village high atop one of the New Mexico buttes. It was $12 each for a guided tour.

I misjudged the distance to Winslow, AZ, so we ended up driving into the evening and arrived tired.

We're spending the night at the Holiday Inn Express in Winslow Arizona.

I am following you on your travels. I love Arizona, though summers are really hot of course. Winslow is cooler than Phoenix. Are you visiting the sightseeing places? Or just eating and sleeping!!!
We've spent our winters in Yuma and Casa Grande. Those days are behind us now.
Enjoy your trip.

Well, this is a culinary tour (just kidding). We are driving, sleeping, and eating, and seeing the odd thing on the way -- the St. Louis arch, Branson, Albuquerque old town, Sky City.

I just really enjoying watching the landscape roll by.
