Gallup, New Mexico

My Accidental Encounter with Gallup, New Mexico.

During last Christmas break, my husband and I embarked on a new journey to an unknown land. We decided to leave beautiful, sunny Los Angeles for below-zero temperatures and snow blizzards in freezing Milwaukee,Wisconsin. In four days we traveled 2,013 miles and experienced the wonderful scenery and diversity the United States of America territory has to offered. Every city, and every state we drove into, had a fascinating story to tell if we were willing to listen. As we experienced North America, without the Hollywood magic we were used to , we became geographers in training. We looked for clues in the landscape, infrastructures, businesses, people, and even gasoline prices to try to decipher the untold story of the place. These are a few of the places we enjoyed during our travel.
