Exploring Winslow

Took off on a day trip around Winslow and discovered some lovely scenery. In case you didn't know, Winslow is on the Santa Fe Railroad route. Over a hundred trains go through here everyday, including Amtrack, twice a day. Next door to the train depot, is the La Posada Historic Hotel. An original Harvey Inn and Restaurant. So beautiful and fortunately, being restored by new owners. The old hotel was shut down years ago, and it became headquarters for the Santa Fe Railroad for 30 years. It's now an amazing restaurant, and hotel featuring 60 rooms, all decorated in fabulous antiques and southwest style decor. I took a tour given by the Winslow Harvey Girls, that was quite imformative and fun. The prices are very good for the rooms, and the food is amazing and priced fairly as well. So, if you are ever in Winslow and you get tired of 'standing on the corner', go check out the La Posada. You'll be glad you did!
