After this stop, we said PEACE to Texas and began driving through New Mexico, which was pretty uneventful but the speed limit was 75 mph and we made a really touristy pit stop in Santa Rosa, where we visited a gimmicky auto museum with like 20 beat up cars that the owner was trying to sell and then proceeded to The Blue Hole. It is in fact a big hole filled with water. Fascinating, huh? Besides the fact that it was 81 feet deep, we were not particularly impressed.
During the drive to Arizona, we actually hit some unexpected thunderstorms (see ominous sky below) but that didn't deter us from hitting up some Navajo Indian Stores. Charlsie was hyping up "fry bread" and I wanted a Powerade to wash down the Jack Pack I just ate (the road makes you crave weird food) so we pulled off the road to Chee's Indian Store. Where else in the world could you buy moccasins, amethysts, and Powerade in the same place? Maybe Walmart but that's besides the point.
Now we're at La Posada Hotel in Winslow, AZ and about to leave for Phoenix to visit some of Charlsie's family. This place has a ton of history behind it and used to be a popular railroad hotel, back in the days when Winslow was poppin'. It has been restored and contains what appears to be most of the original structure and art. Here are some pics of us goofing off after dinner last night!
We ate a little mexican spot down the road from La Posada since you need reservations to eat at their restaurant and it is $$$. We ate HUGE but nothing to write home about chimichangas. Breakfast at the hotel is supposed to be great so we're looking forward to that!
We're getting closer to our destination and being homeless- which is exciting nonetheless!
