We drove for hours through the Texas oil fields and cattle ranches. . . . .
. . . . .into the alien world of Roswell, New Mexico, where even the street lights look like aliens!

| Arby's is alien friendly too! |
The International UFO Museum and Research Center was an unusual place. They had personal stories of a possible alien spaceship crash in 1947 with the Air Force response of denial, some alien models, and reports of other UFO encounters of all 3 kinds. I like their approach of presenting the information and signage that said to decide for yourself!

On we went through miles of endless desert,
where we stopped for some fresh, roasted pistachios, and some Pistachio Crunch,
which was like brittle and toffee!
On through the desert we went, with its Spanish style homes,
until we reached White Sands National Monument. This park is stunning with its snow white dunes.
 |
| the sand is soft and fine |
 |
| it looks just like a snow covered road! |
We stopped in Hatch, the "chile capital of the world", for a delicious lunch!

| Chile Relleno plate |
 |
| Braided or bagged, how do you want your chiles? |
Onward we drove through the changing desert into Arizona . . . .
