Day 20 - Thursday, May 10, 2003

Winslow, AZ to Gallup, NM - 111 miles

Winslow - Holbrook - Navajo - Sanders - Chambers - /New Mexico/ - Manuelito - Gallup

Morning at the La Posada, which translates to "The Resting Place"

Many paintings and antiques

A bit of trivia. In the long hall that led to our rooms was a table ( In the above picture) with local magazines, for the patrons to look over. It just so happened that there was a quarterly from the "Ferrari Owners Association". I picked it up and paged through it, noticing that the address of the Ferrari Association was "18000 STUDEBAKER Road, Cerritos, CA"
