We're parked up only ten minutes from the UFO Museum so we had a bit of a lazy morning. We made our way over there around lunchtime, and as we were pulling into the car park we were joking how we probably wouldn't even be inside for half an hour. As it turns out we weren't too
far off the mark. I'd say we had walked through all the exhibits and back out the front door in little over 20 minutes. Yup, it was pretty much exactly like we imagined it would be. We learned that the museum founder was the mortician that apparently provided the coffins for the unfortunate little aliens who perished in the 1947 crash.... It was really just a place of pilgrimage for all the "true believers". In fact, we even overheard one of them say to her friend, "I can't believe people still don't believe". We were on our best behavior and saved all our jokes until we were back outside. Enough said about that. Seeing as it was still early, we decided we'd walk on up the street to the local Planetarium. We just figured it would be something to pass the time. It took us a while to find the place, but we
discovered that it was at the back of an art museum, and the only way in was through the front door of the museum itself. We were greeted inside by an old lady who was determined to tell us everything that the place had to offer. I think she was a bit deaf because she didn't hear us when we inquired about the Planetarium. We stood and listened to her laugh at her own jokes for 5 minutes or more and being the nice lads that we are, we humored her and feigned an interest in the place. Although we were all really thinking, how the hell do we get out of this?! We learned when we were inside, that the Planetarium only has three shows a month!! We didn't want to just turn around and walk out the front door again. Admission was free so when the nice lady gave us a map of the place, we set out straight away to find the back exit. It didn't take us long to find it, although it really didn't look like somewhere we were meant to go. I guess Ronan wanted out of there more than the rest of us, so he pushed down the door handle and made his escape. The rest of us weren't three steps behind him. We were all glad to see the sunlight, but as we were walking back around the front of the building we were approached by a security guard clutching his walkie talkie tightly. He was less
than impressed, and informed us that next time we want to exit the building we have to use the front door. Yeah right Mr Security Guard, there won't be a next time!! Of course we were very apologetic, but we decided it was best to just keep walking all the same. We must have set of an alarm on our way out. So although Ronan didn't get us in bother with any UFO folk, he still got us in trouble at the end of the day. It was bound to happen... We're heading a bit further down the road tomorrow to a town called Alamogordo, where hopefully we'll do a bit of sand surfing. All said in done, we did have a bit of craic in Roswell.
