Part 5 — “Standin’ on the corner…”

It was getting time to work our way back to DFW, so we planned a stop in Winslow, Arizona at the historic La Posada Hotel.

This history hotel is under a continuous renovation to restore it to its historical grandeur.

The original hotel entrance faced the railroad to welcome its guests.

We stayed in the Harry Truman Room.

Harry Truman Room – view as you enter.

Harry Truman Room – view as you turn left… a large stilling area with dining table, desk, book cases (stocked), and L shaped built in seating with red pillows.

Harry Truman Room – view to the far right corner… more book cases and one of several handmade tin framed mirrors.

After a wonderful night at La Posada, we walked to the Standin’ on the Corner park.
