Day Forty: Roswell NM...17/11/08

We went with 'Plan B' today. We said farewell to the great state of Texas and hit the road for New Mexico, our 11th state. After 5 minutes on the road... we crossed into New Mexico. It was a quick departure from Texas, but we still had another 5 hours on the road before we reached our destination of Roswell. It was a largely uneventful journey, although we were stopped by Border Patrol again, and we reached the 5000 mile mark for the trip. As I said we're now in Roswell New Mexico. Most people would be familiar with Roswell because of the supposed July 1947 "UFO crash" that apparently occurred just outside the city. The story behind the incident (whatever it was) has spiralled out of control ever since, and has spawned a ridiculous number of conspiracy theories, including an apparent major government cover up. Personally, I think it's all a complete load of bul.. (sorry, I forgot this is meant to be a clean blog).. 'a complete load of rubbish. I'm not really sure why we're here exactly. I think it was Aidan's idea.. But seeing as we are here, we're going to the Roswell UFO Museum tomorrow. We're really just going for the craic, and of course to learn more about it so we have more fuel for our jokes. We're bound to run in to some real fanatics and "true believers", but I'm sure we'll show a bit of decorum and bite our lips. Although I'm really just speaking for myself. I can't vouch for the boys, and if anyone is going to get us in bother with the UFO enthusiasts, my moneys on Aidan. Ronan's betting on himself..
