The Blue Coffee Pot, Kayenta, AZ

Tom needed coffee so we stopped at The Blue Coffee Pot at the 160/163 interchange. The restaurant is bright and clean. It is built like a Hogan, which is almost round. Only one other table was occupied, but it is still very early.

We ordered eggs, hash browns and English muffin for Tom and oatmeal for me. I asked what came with the oatmeal and was told nothing. So then I asked about sugar and milk. I was told sugar (packet white sugar) was on the table and she would look to see if they had any milk. I guess that’s how they eat oatmeal here. I noticed that they also made lunches to go so we ordered a couple of sandwiches and chips to go. The server came back to the table to say that they had no milk and would little cartons of half and half be OK. Of course I said that would be alright.

There was a newsstand outside so for 50 cents Tom got The Daily Sun. I picked up a free local paper and read about a bear which wandered into a school yard and climbed a tree. The obituaries also fascinated me because they detail which clan and people they are from (remember we are still in Navajo land).

As usual I paid a visit to the restroom. Clean and functional is all I can stay. Maybe it is only in California they put up pictures, posters and have flowers or plants in restrooms. At least it is better than the one up at Canyon de Chelly yesterday.

The breakfast was nothing to write home about but it was cheap. The bill came to $12.80 but that included our take out lunch as well.
