Day-10 on the road!  Today we drove 223 miles from Amarillo TX to Roswell New Mexico where we are for one night.  Roswell, home of UFO conspiritists.  In fact, we spent an hour this afternoon at the International UFO Museum here in town.  It has many exhibits very convincing of former alien invasions.  NOT!  The museum is hoky but sort of fun.
     Lunch was at a Panda Express.  Dinner will be at the local microwave, a short walk across the room.
     Although we're in New Mexico now we're not done with Texas.  Tomorrow we head to El Paso for two nights.
     Amarillo was nice but we experienced some of the craziest driving yet with the widespread road construction adding to the mayhem.  The other day, as we were walking along the service road from the hotel to the Big Texan Steak Ranch, a semi went flying by at warp speed and barely missed ramming another semi that was entering the roadway from a driveway.  The speeding truck then backed up to cut off the guy he almost rammed, jumped out of his cab, and ran back screaming and waving his arms in a threatening manner at the other driver who was smart enough to stay in his truck.  True road rage.  We didn't hang around to see how it ended.
     Fortunately, the trip has so far gone smoothly for us.  And we look forward to a little more Texas tomorrow and Saturday.  We've visited virtually all parts of the Lone Star State during trips in 2014, 2016 and this year.  It really is a great state and our friends Glenn and Karen Kroh who live in Fort Worth add immeasurably to the fun
     That's it for now!

  1. I’m glad everything is going smoothly so far minus the crazy traffic. Stay safe!! I had no idea there is an International UFO Museum. They are quite mysterious so I guess I’m not surprised.

  2. Maybe you should hitch a ride on a UFO so you don’t have to deal with that crazy traffic!
