Summary of day 36
Day 36 – 05/08/2012 – Groom, TX
We left the hotel late due to the previous day’s long ride, but it was no problem since we had planned already to cover less miles this day. We rode the entire afternoon on the I-40 Service Road with no flat tires, no dogs chasing us, no rain.
We passed by a small city called McLean, where there was only one restaurant / market open. The owner was very friendly and prepared a giant pizza for us. We eat there and had coffee as well before returning to the road.
We also stopped at a rest area, where we had a chance to enjoy a very nice view of the canyons surrounding the road.
By 8:30 pm we arrived in the planned destination, the city of Groom without any hassles. While entering the city we saw a beautiful sunset.
This city has the largest cross in the United States which can be seen from far away, and the view of that cross with the sun behind it was exquisite. We stopped for several pictures and then entered the city looking for a place to buy food. To our surprise, there was none.
The only grocery store closed at 6:30pm, and the only store opened in the entire city was a gas station convenience store. We got a bread, juice and chocolate milk and then headed to the hotel.
There we eat what we had and slept early in an attempt to wake up early in the next day.

Awesome coffee and cakes
At the Angela's Cafe, in the downtown section of Gallup.
One of the best coffee shops we have been during this entire trip!!
