Indian reservations and Mexican food

We set out for the four corners, travelling mostly through Indian reservations to get there.  We got a peek at Monument valley as we drove along the Southern edge of it.  When we stopped for breakfast, it was obvious that two of these things were not like the others.  It was 90+% native americans who all looked at us knowing immediately that we were tourists just passing through.  We arrived at the four corners, I stood in four states at one time, but for some reason, Sarah didnt want to.  There were Indian vendors encompassing the entire outside of the monument and I found Sarah a nice pendant that she liked(a horse, obviously).  We ate some Indian frybread and then cut a path straight Southeast across New Mexico to head toward Austin.  Along the way, we pulled off the interstate onto a historic part of Rt 66 for some Mexican food.  The food was fantastic, there was a lot of history on the walls, and it was a friendly place.  I'd recommend it if you're passing through Santa Rosa NM.  We pushed on a little farther after dinner so we can make good time to John's house.  He who runs with beer(his indian name) probably has a few cold ones waiting for us and is kind enough to let me change the oil in the truck there and possibly do some laundry, the back of the truck is filling up.
