Breakfast at Tiffany's, or perhaps Winslow, Arizona.


The Earth Module settled on Cochiti Lake in New Mexico-half way to Denver.  Up early, we blasted out of Cottonwood and made the stiff climb to Flagstaff. The wind was behind us and the mileage was better than usual.  Somewhere after Flagstaff, the brainstorm hit to have breakfast in Winslow.  Many years ago, the Kadizzlites ate there at the train station which has been restored.  For years, we have tried to get there at the right time for breakfast.   Today, we made it.  The 1930's Mary Colter designed train station has been incredibly restored and improved.  Wonderful art is everywhere, and the breakfast was worth the 12 year wait. The rooms at the station hotel have the famous people that stayed in them labeled on the door.  The architect, Mary Colter, who designed the building is the same one who designed  the lodge at the Grand Canyon and many other famous buildings in the southwest.  If ever the chance presents itself, make sure you stop here, eat, and if nothing else, at least enjoy walking around the building and looking at the art.
