Gallup, NM
All of the Authenticity we desired from Santa Fe....we got in Gallup.
We stayed at the beautiful El Rancho Hotel in the Jack Benny room and walked around town talking to locals and checking out some pawn shops. Gallup is centralized to many reservations so they get all of their items direct.
The downtown area was so cute, keeping it 50's, and 60's charm.
The El Rancho served as a home away from home for all the Western stars of the 30's and 40's. We had a couple drinks in the bar and then has some rice and beans salad with fried zucchini for dinner....we were in bed by 9:15....traveling is so tiring.
