The drive to Winslow was uneventful except for an intermittent “check battery” light. Will check that when I get home. Standing on the Corner in Winslow AZ
We stayed at La Posada – a restored Fred Harvey hotel designed by Mary Colter. The restoration is much more finished and the hotel more attractive than it was at our last visit some years ago. We were in the Edward Ruscha room.
We ate at the Turquoise Room – food well worth travelling for! Waitresses dressed like the old time Harvey Girls. Menu report below.

DINNER REPORT
For appetizers Elaine had:
Our Famous Stuffed Squash Blossoms
Stuffed with sweet corn tamale and Oaxaca cheese, beer batter dipped and crispy fried. Served on a bed of salsa verde with a grilled squash and roasted corn salsa.
I had a special, lamb meatballs with a delicious chili mint dipping sauce
For the main we both had the:
Churro Lamb Sampler – Three ways
Lamb shoulder simmered with tomatillos and green chile, pulled off the bone and served over our sweet corn tamale, bowl of red corn posolé with house-made lamb and pork chorizo. Grilled lamb rib chop with a mint and garlic au jus, served with a fresh vegetable medley.
For desert we both had delicious gelato. It was all YUM!
End of blog until I head for Saratoga on July 24th.
Glad to see you had a 1st floor room.
Without the La Posada and the Turquoise Room, times would be worse in Winslow.
Jane and I went to La Posada and Turquoise Room 2 years ago because of your previous visit and extremely good review.
Always, always good stuff to learn from the great traveling Geoghegans.
