Gallup, New Mexico

First of all, who names a town Gallup?
Well, according to Wikipedia:

"...The City was named after David Gallup, a paymaster for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad...Gallup is sometimes called the "Indian Capital of the World", for its location in the heart of Native American lands, and the presence of Navajo, Zuni, Hopi and other tribes...Route 66 runs through Gallup, and the town's name is mentioned in the lyrics to the song, Route 66. In 2003, the U.S. and New Mexico Departments of Transportation renamed US Highway 666, the city's other major highway to Route 491 since the number "666" is associated with Satan and devil worship, thus it was offensive to some people and local Navajos some who are superstitious felt it will lift the route from being "cursed""
REALLY?!?
... and more...
"Gallup was the subject of a 20/20 mini-documentary about the city's problems with alcohol."
... after reading that I knew that this was a town I wanted to stay in, I mean 20/20 is a great show that captures my attention after 30 seconds so of course this is where I wanted to stay.

The truth is, Gallup was the closest city inside the New Mexico Border and we wanted to keep up with staying in a different state every night- so that's where we landed after watching the Grand Canyon sunset in Arizona.

In the end, the best part about Gallup was the HORRIBLE drivers and the fact that we got starbucks coffee the following morning at 8 o'clock AM from a bar called Sammy C's Rockin' Sports Pub. Truth, my friends, truth.

I was officially Enchanted...
