Where Are We Sleeping Tonight: Amarillo KOA, Texas The first thing we had to do was try out IHOP for breakfast and we picked the perfect town in which to try it. Not only was the food great, but we had unique store art :)
Next up was the obligatory visit the Roswell UFO Museum and Research Centre - I was amazed how much information they have there! It was amazing to read all the first hand accounts of the 1947 crash - more people have come forward than I thought. It was all laid out so well, having been meticulously researched and backed up with government documentation - I could have spent an entire day there.
Next we visited several alien themed gift touristy gift stores but I was surprised that there were no sic-fi geek stores, especially as tomorrow is the start of the annual Roswell Weekend. There are a few businesses in Roswell that get behind the alien theme but generally the town felt like all the other small towns that we have seen on our trip so far. Maybe the town needs to do more than just have alien themed street lights...
Next we headed off towards Amarillo, Texas, passing through a couple more scary towns. They say that everything is bigger in Texas (including the amount of hay you can get on the back of a car) but what they don't mention is how big the stench is when you cross the border! Seriously! This is cow country and as soon as you cross the border, you smell it!
