The wild and crazy jounrey to Texas

We woke up in Taos at 5:45 in order to hit the road by 6. Pretty impressive huh? Stopped back in Santa Fe for a quick breakfast before we committed to the road for the next 14 hours to Austin. But don't worry we managed to find some fun along the way. First we stopped in Roswell for lunch. If you don't already know of this bizarre place from its infamous UFO crash site, Katja recommends you watch a few episodes of the TV drama "Roswell" and you'll get the drift.
The entire town is dedicated to alien-featured tourism and of course we had to venture into the into the International UFO Museum and Research Center. It's very insightful. Apparently the thing that crashed in Roswell, although very close to a nuclear test site, was in fact a UFO complete with at least two alien bodies and not a missile with crash dummies. What can we say, their argument was convincing. We also ate a hopefully forgettable lunch in town- some beans, rice, and a few pathetic strands of lettuce. We don't recommend Roswell to vegetarians, only alien lovers.










Hundreds of Oil drills, tractors, and cows later we found ourselves recovered from our last meal and ready to eat again in San Angelo, Texas. Laura found a great blues cafe with live music for dinner. We were very excited to hear our first "yall's" in southern twang. They were surprisingly accommodating to our veggie needs, our waiter even telling us she pondered becoming one herself, not an easy feat in Texas.
